how do you open a PDF at a specific page from the command line? (OSX or Linux)

Question

I want to open a PDF document at a specific page from the command line, sort of like vim +n [file]. Is there any way to do that in OSX, with any PDF reader program?

Answer 1

You can do this with Evince using the -p or --page-label=PAGE command line argument like so:

evince -p 5 foo.pdf
