Improve support for Adobe PDF open parameters
This commit adds partial support for Adobe PDF open parameters,
specifically we added the page and nameddest parameters,
which are similar to Evince's --named-dest and --page-label
commandline options respectively.
Some examples of the new parameters supported:
- file:///home/user/Documents/sample.pdf#page=12
- https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.01425#nameddest=section.3
- sample.pdf#Page=5
- sample.pdf#NamedDest=Chapter4
Evince previously only supported a number-only parameter for opening a page upon loading the document, eg:
- sample.pdf#5
- https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.01425#7
This support is kept.
Evince already supported passing a file URI in addition to a filename, but the number-only page parameter didn't work when using it in a URI (as described in #2044 (closed)) nor did it work when opening a pdf URI from within an existant pdf (see this testcase pdf).
So, this commit fixes those issues and also updates the Evince man page to:
- Inform of new page and nameddest open parameters.
- Inform that a file URI can also be passed.
- Fix dead links.
Fixes #2044 (closed)
