In Google Chrome, is it possible to get the current page number of a pdf document (the page that I'm viewing)? I have a document that is over 100 pages long, and I can't find the currently viewed page number anywhere.

I guess you want to do this so you can print the currently viewed page? Is there a Print Preview option you can use that perhaps displays page numbers?– KaranOct 10, 2012 at 17:45

@Karan Yes, that's one reason why it would be useful to obtain the current page, but it's not the only reason. These are distinct questions.– Anderson GreenOct 10, 2012 at 18:04

As @Karan says, select the print button and in the print preview screen you will notice a hovering tooltip by the scroll bar that indicates the current page.

Thanks, I didn't notice this before. Is it possible to quickly jump to a specific page on the print preview screen? Oct 10, 2012 at 18:06

There's only one problem with this: When I click "Print", the print preview page shows the first page instead of the page that I was viewing. When I'm viewing a document with over 100 pages, this makes it very difficult to find the page that I was viewing. Oct 10, 2012 at 18:09

@AndersonGreen If you type a page number in the Pages section it jumps directly to the page. Oct 10, 2012 at 18:18

@AndersonGreen On the left side of the screen. It says Pages with a radio button for All or a radio button for an input box with "eg. 1-5, 8, 11-13". If you put the the page number in the input box, the PDF will jump to said page. Oct 10, 2012 at 18:27
