As a part of my program I was trying to, as the title suggests, open a pdf file in a web browser on a specific page so reading the contents of that pdf page and printing it via pdfplumber or PyPDF2 won't really do.
I tried searching up methods to do so but to no avail, any help would be appreciated.

So the issue I am having isn't that there is a link of a PDF on the web I am trying to scrape and download onto my PC (It doesn't end in .pdf). I have a download link that I want to activate, which would then lead me to download a PDF onto my computer. It looks like this:
https://***.com/files/4122109/download?download_frd=1&verifier=xxx
When I click the link, it verifies I am the user that I am, and then lets me download the file with the ID contained in the above query. The content-type for this file is "application/pdf" so I know it downloads a PDF file for me. I just need a library that "clicks" or "activates" the download for me.
Also, I am trying to do this for all the URLs I am pulling from a course on Canvas in a GET request. I am not trying to use Selenium here because I am getting these URLs from an API. Any advice in this approach would be highly appreciated.
I am writing a python code which writes a hyperlink into a excel file.This hyperlink should open in a specific page in a pdf document.
I am trying something like
Worksheet.write_url('A1',"C:/Users/...../mypdf#page=3") but this doesn't work.Please let me know how this can be done.
Are you able to open the pdf file directly to a specific page even without xlsxwriter? I can not.
From Adobe's official site:
To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add
#page=[page number] to the end of the link's URL.
For example, this HTML tag opens page 4 of a PDF file named
myfile.pdf:
Note: If you use UNC server locations (\servername\folder) in a link,
set the link to open to a set destination using the procedure in the
following section.
If you use URLs containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder), you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations.
I am new in python and need your help.
I am writing a GUI in Python from which I would like to refer to specific pages in a PDF.
I can open a PDF on page x following this: Python Open PDF to Bookmark/Named Destination
However, I need to give the path to the Acrobat.exe which I image could be problematic when sending my GUI to someone else.
Is there a way to open a PDF on page x without setting the file path for Acrobat.exe?

I'm trying to scrape the PDF from this webpage using python:
http://pesquisa.in.gov.br/imprensa/jsp/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=3&pagina=1&data=31/03/1993
The problem is that the above URL points to the viewer (with date-page parameters), not the PDF file. I tried to inspect the html code to see the URL to the PDF directly, but could not.
any help on how to find the correct URL and implement a way to download them in python?
Edit:
I will later generalize this to other days and pages, the full list of day-page links can be found by searching for the relevant period here: http://portal.imprensanacional.gov.br/
How can I download all the pdf (or specific extension files like .tif or .pdf) from a webpage that requires login. I dont want to log in everytime for every pdf so I cant use link generation and pushing to browser scheme
The solution was simple: just posting it for others may have the same question
mydriver.get("https://username:password#www.somewebsite.com/somelink")
