It requires pdf-tools package as pdf viewer. Thank you for the reference, it is useful in general. Personally, the doc-view already offers easy access to pages which allows for a function to capture Org. Thus there is no personal need for that purpose to download extra package. (doc-view-current-page) (doc-view-goto-page PAGE) Variable doc-view--current-search-matches contains query and page number where match is found. As you pointed it out as answer to xpdf capturing of references let me give you good case use for xpdf versus Emacs. We have educational business where clients need to be brought to specific references quickly without reading all the book and without opening pages and wasting time. I can tell to staff members to copy 2 configuration files (.xpdfrc and script) in their corresponding target directories or to download them there, and run xpdf with specific key as a function where people press a key and describe or annotate the hyperlink. That is much much easier than to tell people to open up Emacs, go through Tutorial, use this or that M-x command or keybindings. Some of them will be doing it so. Some will be doing straight from xpdf.
