[BUG] Page offset doesn't work if scrolling or spread mode has been changed from the default about pdfoundry

Can you clarify what you mean by "with a dynamic link with page offset"
Are you talking about in a journal entry with "page=xx" set?

[plutoneld]

Yes, that's exactly it.

[Djphoenix719]

Alright I will investigate this tonight or tomorrow. For now I suppose just avoid using the scroll mode.

[plutoneld]

Yeah, no worries. I got curious about the horizontal scrolling, i normally don't touch scrolling otherwise (I don't think a lot of ppl do?). Figured it was worth mentioning in case someone else stumbles upon it.

@plutoneld If you could let me know if this issue still persists in the version 0.7.0+ that would be appreciated.

[plutoneld]

The behavior is the same in 0.7.1. Setting something other than Vertical Scrolling or No Spreads "breaks" the dynamic links/journal links with page offset (opening to page 1 instead of the offset).

While testing I found that the remembered page (the last page you had opened) is opened correctly if you open the PDF from the sidebar or journal link without page offset, no matter the setting to scroll mode or page spread.

Is the page offset supposed to correct the page number in the navigation bar (where you can also set the zoom level)? I can’t seem to see the use of the page offset. Links within the pdf go to the correct page regardless of the page offset and when I want to jump to page 30 in a PDF which needs an offset of 2, I still land on page 28 when using the navigation bar.

Am I missing something?

[plutoneld]

While related, this issue is about page offset in Journal Entries links not working correctly when you have changed scrolling or spread settings.

To answer your question to the best of my knowledge, the page number in the navigation bar is unlikely to change. The page offset setting for the pdf is (afaik) to have the actual page number on the pdf page match the link with page offset you are creating. Does that make sense?

So lets say you have a pdf that display page 32 in nav bar although the page number on the actual page says 30 (because the author added some unnumbered pages), you would enter an offset of 2 in the PDF's settings. A link to page 30 would then take you to page 32 in the nav bar, but display the actual page 30.

Ah, I see. Thank you! Sorry for thread jacking!
