Hi Greg

First at all my apologies for the sending of HTML, 
just I corrected the configuration in TB.

My question went better around the possibility of 
opening from a web site a specific page of a PDF 
created by Scribus.

Thanks also to Henry and Jeff for their comments. 
I will try Henry's options and I'll let you know

Thanks

JAB
