Bookmarking PDF in Google Chrome
Solution 1
As of Chrome version 31+ the page number is displayed by the scroll bar if you scroll at all. I'm not sure when (what version) this feature was added.
Solution 2
Does it automatically update the hash tag to the page number?
If so, you could use document.location.hash
as follows:
currentPage = document.location.hash.split("="); currentPage = currentPage[1];

Lately I've been reading a lot of PDF books using Google Chrome. To go to a particular page, you can simply append #page=23 to the url (as in file:///C:/my_book.pdf#page=23). This is a nice and easy way to bookmark your current page number to continue reading the book later.
My question:
What's a way to find out what page you're currently in within the book?
OR
What's a Chrome plugin that bookmarks PDF files within your file system?
I've tried a few extensions, but they don't work unless the book is in a server (as in http:// localhost/my_book.pdf), which is not desired in my case.
Thanks!
