In my C++ Windows application I use ShellExecute to open a remote PDF file in the internet browser at a certain PDF Destination (dynamic bookmarks provided by Adobe Acrobat Reader):
ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "https://www.myweb.cloud/guide.pdf#dest_1", NULL , NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Then if I want to move to another Destination, another call to ShellExecute (with #dest_2 in the URL) simply open another page in the browser and download the PDF again opening it at that Destination.
Is there a way to programmatically change the URL (from #dest_1 to #dest_2) without making the browser to open a new page e re-dowload the PDF?
I also use LibCurl in my application in order to retrieve data from remote servers. Can I reach my goal with LibCurl? If so, could you plese show me a code sample?
Thanks in advance.
ShellExecute
are always opened in a new tab by default. Chrome can't change this behavior. Early Firefox had an option for opening an external link in a currently active tab, but does not seem to have it now.ShellExecute
. You just need to find an application, that is suitable to your requirements. For example Adobe Reader does not seem to support opening in the same tab 1 , 2 . As @KJ commented while I was typing my answer, sumatrapdf -reuse-instance
seem to be suitable for you.
