      This is a serious issue for us using opera as a PDF reader for 900 page textbooks or similar. Having to remember the page number or spend several seconds or even minutes to find and open the PDFs at the relevant pages makes me use other browsers specifically for reading PDF's. I wish I could do this in Opera instead, as the PDF reader is actually really good elsewise.

        @oes25 Opera uses Chromium PDF reader, so what is the behavior in Chrome and other Chromium based browsers like Vivaldi?

          @leocg I'm not sure, I have not used Chrome in a while and didn't try out the PDF reader in Vivaldi. But double checked location in Edge (which also is a chromium browser, but uses its own PDF reader) and Firefox.

          But I understand that the underlying problem then might probably be the way the chromium pdf reader works then.

          I'm not mainly trying to complain. I'm just trying to help in the long run by making a suggestion of how Opera could be better and more competitive, if the devs at some point have time to implement something like this.

          Might not be the most pressing issue, but it's certainly an open possibility to make the browser better and more competitive.

            @oes25 It's probably something that you need to ask Chromium to change.

              I understand your frustration. One possible workaround could be to use bookmarks to save the page numbers you need to refer to frequently in the PDF. You can create bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark icon in the PDF viewer and selecting "Add Bookmark". This will allow you to quickly jump to the relevant pages without having to scroll through the entire document each time. Another option could be to use the table of contents if the PDF has one, which can also help you quickly navigate to specific sections or chapters.
