Is there a way to open a pdf automatically in a specific page?

I read pdf-books and wanted to ask if there is a way to automatically open them in a specific page (so as not to have to navigate to the last page I read every single time).

Thanks.

note: I use adobe reader X, but if there is a better solution in another free program, please say so.

You can set Adobe Reader to always restore the last view, which includes the last page, when opening documents:

  1. Open the preferences window (Edit => Preferences).

  2. Go to the Documents category on the left.

  3. Tick Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

You can install a bookmark plugin for Adobe Reader X, there are a lot of them. Check this page:

Using evince myself, pdf automatically open at the last page I was reading last time I opened them.

I'm using Skim.app (on MacOS X) which lets me save bookmarks that point to a certain page in a pdf file.
