    Hi,

    Is it possible to open a PDF file with a specific page anchor in the Fancybox pop-up? i.e. opening abc.pdf#page=3 directly through hyperlink, without Fancybox, will take the visitor directly to page 3 of the PDF file.

    However this does not happen using Fancybox and it will only show the default first page of the PDF.

    Hi, the next version will be supporting this but for now, what you can do is:

    1. Disable the option “Enable for: PDF” and enable the option “Enable for: iFrame” (if you need the PDF feature for many other links, see note below)
    2. Modify the link in your post (via HTML tab) or text widget so that is has a class="fancybox-iframe" attribute and append the href with #page=3

    The link HTML source should look something like:

    <a href="...pdf#page=3" class="fancybox-iframe">...text or img...</a>

    Note: if you have many other PDF links accros your site and you really need the PDF feature enabled with the auto-detection ON, then leave it enabled and add the class nofancybox to the PDF link that you want to make open on page 3. It should look like:

    <a href="...pdf#page=3" class="nofancybox fancybox-iframe">...text or img...</a>

    Hope that helps 🙂
