Hello,

I am developing internet browser stuff, and would like to know if there is ANY way possible to do this:

1. Specify a page number for an online PDF document to open
2. Only open the specified page in adobe reader in the browser without downloading the whole document.

1- See that doc : [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf]

2- Be sure that your PDF is "Optimised for fast web view", this cause the specified page to be downloaded and displayed to the end-user before (background) downloading the whole document.
Another way is to split the PDF in several one-page-documents, this can be done with the free AbracadabraTOOLS [http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15] more easily than with the Acrobat's "Extract pages" function.;-)
