    How can you have your web browser open to a specific page of a pdf?

    I mean open as its home page or default tab

    How about for Chrome and IE?

    I can't be the only one who occasionally will read a long pdf or a long article and save where I left out.
    Though it is more of a behavioral thing to try to find this out- if you start off where you left off you might be quicker to resume work

    Ah by page I mean

    A pdf file may have 10 pages in it. A word document may be 10 pages long.

    If you save a pdf to your homepage, your homepage will immediatly go to page 1

    By default if you make your home page a url that has the PDF it will always go to the first PDF page. Have you tried it? I did and it works in Firefox for page 1 of the PDF file.

    Edited post to say that knee already answered above.
