Let me save you from scrolling through 64 pages:

    pdftk 54372.pdf cat 65-end output weber-grilling-meat.pdf



Let me save you a few characters in the future friend:

In both Firefox and Chrome (probably Safari too) there is a page number at the top of the page when you open the PDF. Here you can manually type in a number. Open up the PDF and enter "65" and it'll take you directly to the page you enter.


Well, they do both use PDF.js [0].

[0] https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/


Using that knowledge we can improve on the instructions upthread.

Just open this link: https://weber.mizecx.com/knowledge/s3/retrieve?path=knowledg...

which is the original link, with "#page=65" appended. At least on Firefox, it will lead you straight to the page in question.


Chrome uses PDFium [1], not PDF.js.

[1] https://github.com/chromium/pdfium


Which is significantly snappier than pdf.js on big and moderately-sized PDFs.


Might be, although the UI is certainly different, at least for me on Windows. The page numbers are in the top-left on Firefox but top-center on Chrome.


Strange, I copied this in my browser and it opened google rather than the pdf.
