What this changes

Help systems start a PDF reader with open parameters after the file name, such as manual.pdf#nameddest=Intro or manual.pdf#page=12. PdfCraft read the whole string as the file name and failed with "os error 2" (#3425). A path that names no file, but whose part before a # does, now opens that file at the named destination or page:

  • at launch,
  • when another launch hands the file to the running app, at the place asked for last if it's asked twice before it has opened,
  • and in its tab when the file is already open.

page (1-based) and nameddest are read, plus a bare #Intro as a destination name, as browsers' PDF viewers do. Other parameters (zoom, view, pagemode, search…) are ignored, and the file still opens. A path that names a file is never split, so a # in a real file or folder name still works.

The named destination is looked up in the target's /Names /Dests tree or catalog /Dests (ISO 32000-2 §12.3.2.4). In the running app the lookup runs off the UI thread, because a large manual's name tree takes a noticeable moment to read. The same lookup now applies a GoToR link's named destination, in the app and in link_open, instead of opening the file at its default view with a warning.

Headlessly, doc_open reads the same open parameters, through the parser in pdfcraft_engine::open_parameters that the app uses. It reports the destination the way link_open does.

Fixes #3425

How you verified it

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p pdfcraft-engine -p pdfcraft-automation -p pdfcraft-ui-egui -j 2 --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo clippy -p pdfcraft-render -j 2 --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean
  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-render -j 2: 401 unit and 43 integration tests pass (1 already ignored)
  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-engine -j 2 --lib open_parameters: the 3 parser tests pass
  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-automation -j 2: 45 unit and 271 integration tests pass
  • cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui -j 2 --no-fail-fast: 553 unit and 1,154 it tests pass. 17 unit and 21 it tests fail on this Windows machine, all with the same egui panic, No glyph for "⋯" (U+22EF) in Proportional. They're the same 38 tests that failed before this PR's changes, and I ran one of them on main at e9fc890a, where it fails the same way. So it's the fonts installed here, not this change.
  • cargo xtask layers and cargo xtask assets: not applicable, no crate boundaries or assets touched

Tests:

  • open_action::a_file_named_with_open_parameters_opens_at_their_destination and open_action::open_parameters_handed_to_the_running_app_show_their_destination cover launch, hand-off, two requests before the file has opened, an already-open tab, a lookup that finishes after the call returns, and a page asked for while a name is still being looked up.
  • document_links::a_gotor_link_to_a_named_destination_opens_at_its_page covers the GoToR link in the app.
  • automation::doc_open_reads_open_parameters_after_the_file_name covers #page=, #nameddest=, a bare name, a name the file doesn't define, a page past the end, a real file named odd#page=2.pdf, a missing file and a path outside --root.
  • automation::local_gotor_link_open_applies_destinations_and_honors_root now also follows a link to a target that defines the name.
  • inspect::navigation::open_dest_tests::a_named_destination_is_looked_up_by_its_name covers both name trees, UTF-16 and PDFDocEncoding keys, a missing name, a page past the end, a self-referencing name and bytes that aren't a PDF.
  • Each fix was switched off on its own, and its test failed:
    • Without the split in open_path_then or the lookup in apply_destination_at, the open reports Failed instead of Opened, and the GoToR link lands on page 0 instead of 2.
    • Without replacing a pending open's destination, the hand-off times out waiting for Load Flow.
    • With the lookup made synchronous, the tab has already moved when the call returns.
    • Without dropping a lookup in flight, the tab ends on page 2 instead of the page 5 asked for after it.
    • Without the split in doc_open, manual.pdf#page=3 fails to open.
    • Without the lookup in destination_report, link_open reports destination_applied: false for a name the target defines.

Never-crash

  • No new unwrap/expect/panic!/unreachable!/todo! outside tests
  • No indexing or slicing with input-derived positions: the path is split with get at a #, which is one byte. The page number uses checked_sub, and at most 32 # of one path are tried.
  • No unsafe
  • named_destination reads the document like inspect: lazy reader first, lopdf when that fails, both under catch_unwind. If its thread can't start, the app looks the name up in place. If the thread stops without an answer, the app shows the "not applied" warning.

Provenance

  • No assets, fonts or copied code
  • Behaviour comes from ISO 32000-2 §12.3.2.4 and Adobe's public "Parameters for Opening PDF Files" document

Security

  • --root confinement holds: doc_open resolves the part before a # with the same resolve as any path, and the test opens nothing outside --root. No change to MCP or the control channel, and no network access.

Parity and reach

  • parity/acrobat-features.toml: core.open and the link entry name the new tests, and their notes say which parameters are still ignored and that doc_open and link_open report the destination.
  • Reachable headlessly: doc_open for open parameters, link_open for GoToR named destinations, both with end-to-end tests.
  • crates/engine/README.md lists open_parameters.

Anything a reviewer should look at first

  • This was written before main split inspect.rs and ui-egui/src/lib.rs into modules, and I re-applied it by hand rather than rebasing: named_destination is in inspect/navigation.rs, the open path in app/files.rs, the destination code in app/links.rs, and the parser in crates/engine/src/open_parameters.rs.
  • The off-thread lookup (PendingDestination, poll_pending_destinations) follows the word count's pattern: a named thread, a channel, and a repaint request. A newer destination for the same document drops a lookup still in flight.
  • The split only happens when the whole path is not a file, so a file literally named manual.pdf#page=2 still opens as itself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • PDFs opened with page or named-destination parameters now navigate to the requested destination at launch, when handed off to a running app, or when already open. Unsupported parameters are ignored.
    • Remote PDF links can navigate to named destinations defined in the target document.
    • Opening a PDF with destination parameters reports whether the destination was applied and includes any related warning.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Missing named destinations leave the document at its default view and display a warning. Out-of-range page destinations are not applied and are reported with a warning.

Walkthrough

The app and automation tools now parse PDF open parameters and apply page or named destinations. Named destinations are resolved from target PDFs for file opens and remote GoTo links. Tests cover launch, existing tabs, automation results, and unresolved destinations.

Changes: PDF navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Named-destination resolution
crates/render/src/inspect/navigation.rs, crates/render/src/inspect.rs, crates/render/src/lib.rs
A public resolver checks the PDF name tree and catalog dictionary, including decoded text keys. It returns valid page destinations. Tests cover missing and invalid destinations.
File open parameters and destination reporting
crates/engine/src/open_parameters.rs, crates/engine/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/app/files.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/app.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, crates/automation/src/documents.rs, crates/automation/src/tools.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/it/open_action.rs, crates/automation/tests/it/automation.rs, crates/engine/README.md, ROADMAP.md, parity/acrobat-features.toml
The parser separates a file path from supported page and named-destination parameters. The app carries destinations through new opens and requests for open tabs. doc_open reports whether an extracted destination was applied and any warning.
Remote link destination handling
crates/ui-egui/src/app/links.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/app.rs, crates/automation/src/links.rs, crates/automation/src/tools.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/it/document_links.rs, crates/automation/tests/it/automation.rs, parity/acrobat-features.toml
The app and link_open resolve named GoToR destinations. The app can perform lookups asynchronously and applies results to the target tab. Tests check resolved and missing names.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

  • storytold/pdfcraft#1114 — This change adds named-destination handling to GoToR links, a behavior mentioned in the issue’s implementation status.

Suggested reviewers: dylanmtaylor, echelon

Merge Risk: Low · up to 48b9b

Some edge cases can open the wrong file or location. The change is mergeable with these limitations understood.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 48b9b

File-access restrictions remain in place, and destination results are applied to the intended document. However, repeated navigation requests can leave obsolete PDF lookups running concurrently, creating a local resource-exhaustion risk. No broader file access or privilege expansion was established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Newest-request ordering discards obsolete lookup results but does not stop obsolete work. Every live named-destination request can spawn another detached PDF-parsing thread, including requests for an already-open file. Repeated requests against a large PDF can therefore accumulate CPU, memory, and thread usage; if thread creation fails, lookup falls back to the UI thread. Unlike the base's focus-only behavior for an already-open file, this introduces additional work without an aggregate concurrency bound. The supported exposure is local application availability, not broader authority.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified resource-amplification path affects the desktop reader process handling repeated named-navigation requests. It requires requests to reach that application and a readable target PDF. The inspected path establishes no additional tenant, service, credential, or filesystem authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Repeated destination-bearing opens of an already-open, expensive-to-parse PDF can initiate overlapping lookups despite latest-request-wins navigation. Obsolete threads continue parsing after their receivers are dropped. Resource exhaustion or UI stalls are plausible consequences, but were not demonstrated by execution.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Automation doc_open uses the root-constrained resolver both when recognizing a fragment-bearing file prefix and before reading the selected file. GoToR opening retains source-relative path resolution and root enforcement before reading; named-destination reporting operates on the authorized target's already-open bytes. Static test assertions cover traversal and symlink rejection.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Late results cannot navigate a closed document because consumption requires a matching document view. A test also asserts that a newer page request wins over an in-flight named lookup. These are useful state-integrity controls, although they do not bound outstanding work.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use bounded lookup execution with per-document coalescing or cooperative cancellation, retaining only the newest queued destination. Avoid synchronous parsing on the UI thread when background capacity is exhausted.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #3425 requires a path such as manual.pdf#nameddest=Intro to open the PDF at its requested location. The PR adds shared parameter parsing and splits the path only when the full path is not a file. The app applies named destinations at launch, during running-app handoff, and in an open tab. The automation path uses the same parser. The reported tests cover named destinations, page destinations, handoff behavior, and literal # file names.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The named-destination lookup, GoToR support, headless doc_open and link_open support, tests, parity updates, and documentation extend the same PDF destination behavior described in the current PR intent. The reported changes also test root confinement and preserve literal file names. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Retain the latest destination while the file is opening.

If a second launch requests manual.pdf#page=2 while manual.pdf#page=1 is pending, this branch returns Pending and discards the second after_open. The tab opens at page 1, not the last requested page. Update the matching pending open’s destination before returning, and cover two requests received before completion. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

On the outside-diff comment about crates/ui-egui/src/app/files.rs:556-557, a second request while the file is still opening: fixed in 90586f8. A request with a destination for a file that's still opening now replaces the pending open's destination, so it opens at the place asked for last. A plain open of the same file keeps the earlier destination. open_parameters_handed_to_the_running_app_show_their_destination asks for #page=5 and then #nameddest=Load Flow before the open completes, and checks that it lands on Load Flow.

Decode both named-destination forms before lookup.

#Load%20Flow and #nameddest=Load%20Flow currently pass Load%20Flow to RemoteDestination::Named, so lookup can miss the destination named Load Flow. Decode each name after splitting parameters. This preserves parameter delimiters and leaves unencoded names unchanged.

Minor · Coalesce requests for the active password prompt. · files.rs:536-560

crates/ui-egui/src/app/files.rs:536-560
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Coalesce requests for the active password prompt.

When a same-file request arrives while password_prompt is active, open_path_then checks only pending_opens and schedules another OpenRequest. The active prompt's original request has already left pending_opens. After the prompt is submitted or cancelled, polling can admit the deferred request and finish_pending_open can create a second password prompt instead of updating the active prompt's destination.

Add an active-prompt coalescing branch before the pending_opens check. Update after_open only when the new request provides a destination. Preserve every applicable continuation. Do not overwrite an existing continuation with None or discard a second non-None continuation. A direct prompt.then = then assignment is not safe because PasswordPrompt stores only one continuation and both requests can supply one.

Map RemoteDestination::Default to no destination.

When split returns Default for an unsupported-only fragment such as #zoom=200, this branch wraps it in Some. That replaces an earlier pending destination and removes an in-flight named lookup, although Default performs no navigation. Preserve the filename and map only Default to None; keep valid Page and Named destinations unchanged.

the prompt’s after_open destination only when the new request provides one, and
preserve both existing and new continuations when both apply rather than
replacing the single continuation stored by PasswordPrompt; avoid scheduling a
duplicate OpenRequest.

`RemoteDestination::Default` preserves the filename but maps `after_open` to

Add a PDFDocEncoding-byte lookup before the text fallback.

The raw UTF-8 lookup preserves exact UTF-8 precedence, but named_dest_by_text does not resolve every PDFDocEncoding key. If a PDFDocEncoding key is also valid UTF-8, text_string decodes it as UTF-8 instead of PDFDocEncoding. For example, bytes C3 A9 decode as é through UTF-8 but as é through PDFDocEncoding. A request for é therefore misses both the name-tree and catalog /Dests lookup.

After the exact raw lookup, encode name as PDFDocEncoding and perform the same raw lookup before calling named_dest_by_text.

…rytold#3425)

Help systems start a PDF reader with `manual.pdf#nameddest=Intro` or
`#page=12`. PdfCraft read the whole string as the file name and failed
with "os error 2". A path that names no file, but whose part before a
`#` does, now opens that file and goes to the named destination or page,
at launch, from another launch's hand-off and in a tab already open.

The app also applies a GoToR link's named destination, looked up in the
target's /Names /Dests or catalog /Dests (ISO 32000-2 §12.3.2.4), instead
of warning that it wasn't applied.
…ations (storytold#3425)

Everything is reachable headlessly (AGENTS.md §3), so the open-parameter
parser moves from the app to pdfcraft_engine::open_parameters. doc_open
now splits `manual.pdf#page=2` the way the app does, only when the whole
path names no file, resolving the file part under --root. It reports the
destination as link_open does.

link_open and doc_open share destination_report, which looks a named
destination up in the target's /Names /Dests or catalog /Dests, instead
of reporting it as not applied.

…est place asked for (storytold#3425)

A named-destination lookup reads the page tree and the whole name tree:
about 100 ms for a 3,000-page manual with 30,000 names. In the running
app it now runs on its own thread, and the tab moves when the frame loop
picks up the answer. Startup and inline test runs still resolve it in
place, as opening does. A newer destination for the same document drops
a lookup still in flight.

A second launch that asks for another place while the file is still
opening now replaces the pending open's destination, instead of being
dropped.

Raised by CodeRabbit in review of storytold#5049.
…sked for (storytold#3425)

named_destination matched a name tree key as a text string (UTF-16 or
PDFDocEncoding) when its raw bytes missed, but a key of the PDF 1.1
catalog /Dests dictionary only by its raw bytes. A request for "thé"
missed /th#E9, a name written in PDFDocEncoding as older files have
them, and the file opened without its destination.

Catalog /Dests keys are now read as text after the name tree's, and
only after the raw lookup, so a name written as UTF-8 still comes
first. Raised in review.

The parser can select the wrong file when both guide and guide#manual.pdf exist. The current find_map scans # from left to right, so guide#manual.pdf#page=2 selects guide at the first # and treats manual.pdf#page=2 as the fragment. This prevents the intended PDF from opening.

ReviewerA — source-read COMMENT (not an approval)

I read the diff: a file named with open parameters opens at their destination (M3, #3425), as a help system starts a PDF reader (manual.pdf#nameddest=Intro, #page=12). In the automation doc_open the path is split with open_parameters::split(requested, |p| self.resolve(p, false).is_ok_and(|p| p.is_file())), which never splits a path that names an existing file (so a file literally called a#b.pdf still opens), the file part is then resolved under --root as before, and the reply gets destination_applied, destination and warning from links::destination_report, which looks a named destination up in the document as the app does. Resolving the file part through the same root check as any other path means the # handling cannot be used to escape the root; the closure that tests is_file calls resolve, which checks the root and returns an error (treated as "not a file") and therefore splits, which is fine. The new reply fields appear only when parameters were given, so existing clients see no change. Tests wanted: a#b.pdf that exists (no split), x.pdf#page=0 and #page=99999 (a warning, not a failure), #nameddest= of a missing name, and a path with .. before the #. I read about 30 lines. I have not run it, and no exact-head CI result exists for this head, so this is a source-read comment and not an approval. Nothing was run.

I ran nothing and have no exact-head CI result for this PR, so this is not an approval. Where a diff was long I read its code hunks rather than every generated or documentation line.
