PDF files can be opened in a web area using the command WA OPEN URL. To open a PDF to a specific page, append the path with “#page={desired_page_number}”. For example:

$path:="file:///Users/ndo/Desktop/example.pdf"
$pg:="#page=4"
WA OPEN URL(*; "myWA"; $path+$pg)

The above code will open "test.pdf" to page 4.
