I want to be able to
+ create a Org link to specific pages of a PDF. I've managed to
accomplish this by setting the following value.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
(setq org-file-apps
'(("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)\\'" . "zathura -P %1 %s")))
#+end_src
The following links open the PDF at the given page.
[[file:~/Downloads/grub.pdf::10]]
[[file:~/Downloads/grub.pdf::20]]
[[file:~/Downloads/grub.pdf::30]]
+ create a Org link to specific pages of a PDF and highlight a given
string.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
(setq org-file-apps
'(("\\.pdf::\\([0-9]+\\)::\\([^:]+\\)\\'" . "zathura -P %1 -f %2 %s")))
#+end_src
The following link must open the PDF at a given page and highlight the
given string. However, I'm getting the following error (see the
=#+begin_example= block below.)
[[file:~/Downloads/grub.pdf::95::do]]
#+begin_example

#+end_example
Note that the following accomplishes what I'm looking for
#+begin_src bash
zathura -P 95 -f do ~/Downloads/grub.pdf
#+end_src
My question is: How can I get rid of that error so that the PDF is
opened at a given page and the string is highlighted?
PS: If you want a PDF to test the link presented in this message, you
can download the following PDF (564K). It was the smallest PDF in
gnu.org I was able to find.
#+begin_src bash :dir ~/Downloads :results silent
wget 'https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.pdf'
#+end_src
