Preview / link to pages in pdf files

[archiee]

Hi eveyone,

I am new here, hope posting my question in the right place.

I am coming from obsidian. I can link to pdf pages directly in it. even preview them (eventho it can get slow on large file and adds a lot of overhead ).

Is there a way to do the same in org-roam? I know I can link to org headings and files via id but not sure about pdf pages.

Thanks in advance

Linking from an org buffer to a PDF file or specific page is possible.

• File links are part of Org. Refer to https://orgmode.org/manual/External-Links.html: a PDF file is used as an example.
• For linking to a page, refer to GitHub - fuxialexander/org-pdftools: A custom org link type for pdf-tools. This is not part of Org-roam or Org themselves.

For previewing, I have not seen any way to enable preview within an Org buffer. It’s just one-person experience, but I don’t think it’s been done before (judging from how Emacs display works vs PDF works).
