Bookmarking PDF in Google Chrome

Lately I've been reading a lot of PDF books using Google Chrome. To go to a particular page, you can simply append #page=23 to the url (as in file:///C:/my_book.pdf#page=23). This is a nice and easy way to bookmark your current page number to continue reading the book later.

My question:

What's a way to find out what page you're currently in within the book?

OR

What's a Chrome plugin that bookmarks PDF files within your file system?

I've tried a few extensions, but they don't work unless the book is in a server (as in http:// localhost/my_book.pdf), which is not desired in my case.

Thanks!

There's a chrome extension called "PDF Bookmark" it is free and works in my case. Here's the link for your reference.

not very user friendly but you can append document.documentElement.scrollTop property value to the url on the console

> document.documentElement.scrollTop
<- 4000

bookmark as "file://path/to/pdf.pdf#4000" and then when you reopen it use that value to set the same property

document.documentElement.scrollTop = 4000

a simple user script should be able to do this...

Most browsers have had bookmarks since long ago its often called favorites and can be exported edited and imported or add thumbnails to create a more visual index..

Group them by topics or date if they are a series or favorite collection. keep sub folders for work personal utilities hobbies etc
