Dear all,

under Windows 7, Emacs 24.2 and orgmode 7.9.4 I would like to have a
hyperlink to an external pdf. The pdf should be opened by a
software called PDVXchange viewer /at a certain page/.

The command on the command line in windows is:

PDFXCview /A page=10 filename.pdf

This works on the command line: The pdf is opened on page 10. But how do I 
implement that in orgmode? Which lines to add to my .emacs file?

I found an example for evince here:

http://emacswiki.org/emacs/OrgMode

#+begin_source lisp
  (delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)
    (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" . "evince \"%s\" -p 
%1"))
#+end_source

I tried in vain to adapt it:

#+begin_source lisp
(delete '("\\.pdf\\'" . default) org-file-apps)
    (add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'"
    . "PDFXCview /A 'page'=%1 \"%s\" "))
#+end_source

The hyperlink in org looks like this:

[[file:filename.pdf::10][link to my file]]

Could anybody provide a working solution? Emacs simply not reacts
with my adaption.

Thank you!

Alexander

for me the following works under Win7:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'org-file-apps
    '("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" .
    "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat 10.0/Acrobat/Acrobat.exe\"
  /A page=%1 %s") 
#+end_src
(Without line break in the string)

I think Win7 chokes on single quotes.

Yes, it did help indeed, thank you very much!

For the record:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps
  '("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" . "\"C:/Program Files/Tracker Software/PDF 
Viewer/PDFXCview.exe\" /A page=%1 %s"))
#+end_src

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.\\(doc\\|docx\\|pdf\\|dct\\)$" . system))

works for me, if the viewer is set in the system options.
