+title: embed PDF in Obsidian at specific page
+---
+[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) is a powerful note taking tool and is how I write content for this very blog. It's a great way to organize your life, but did you know not only can you embed images, but PDF's and even specify which page they should preview at?
+
+It's quite simple! In your file path, append a `#page=number_here` and Obsidian's PDF preview will jump to that page.
+
+```md
+![[documents/my_file.pdf#page=55]]
+```
