DescriptionThis description only refers to the add-on version for Anki 2.1.30+Apple/MacOS are only partially supported, see the section "Apple/Mac" below.This add-on converts file names (and page numbers) from separate fields in your note to a clickable hyperlink that opens this file in an external application you set. This add-on allows you create a clickable hyperlink during reviews "my lecture notes.pdf - 123". When you click the hyperlink your pdf viewer will open the file "my lecture notes.pdf" on page 123. AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid don't support add-ons so this add-on is only useful on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.This add-on also works in the editor which is part of the Add window, the EditCurrent window and the bottom of the browser. If the field where you put the filename or path of the linked pdf file is not empty you'll have a context menu entry "open external_source" (or however you named this field, see the config section below). So when editing notes you can also quickly open linked files.I have used this add-on to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader, office documents in LibreOffice Writer, epub files in the calibre ebook-viewer, audio files in vlc at positions in the middle, text files in my wiki software ZIM, mindmaps in Freeplane, etc.Caveats: Use this at your own risk. # useYou can download the following screencasts (gifs) by right-clicking them. Then select "save image as" from the context menu (tested in Chrome and Firefox). Then open these gifs with a program that supports to pause gif files. On Windows I use the popular image viewer IrfanView that can also display gifs. IrfanView has "Options->Start/Stop Animation" and you can adjust the speed with [SHIFT][CTRL][+] or [SHIFT][CTRL][-]. On Linux I use mpv. # Apple/MacOSI don't have a Mac so I can't adjust and test this add-on for MacOS. In MacOS some things are different so this add-on doesn't fully work on MacOS.Newer MacOS versions restrict which apps can read or modify which files (check System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy). This security feature will interfer with my add-on and you might have to make some adjustments there.If you just want a simple pdf viewer have a look at the add-on pdf viewer.If you have solved these permission issues, about displaying pdfs: The default app for displaying pdfs in MacOS is "Preview". But there is no command line parameter like "--page" when opening "Preview" to go to a specific page. So this add-on uses a workaround with AppleScript which is slow and due to the way it works you'll briefly see a flickering box before the targeted page is opened. To use Preview use these settings- Extensions: pdf- command/program: preview- command parameters to open on specific page: PATH#page=PAGEYou can also use the pdf viewers from Google Chrome (use command/program: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome) or Firefox (command/program: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox). Safari didn't work for me. # Setupinitial setup: For instructions about downloading and pausing or slowing down these screencasts see the preceeding paragraph before the first screencast.There are three steps to do:1. Add two additional fields to all note types. The default names for these fields are "external_source" and "external_page" but you can adjust these field names in the add-on configuration. See Screencast 1 for details2. You must add a hyperlink to the template in the "Card Types for ... " window. This add-on adds a button for this at the bottom of this window named "Ext-Docs-Link". See Screencast 2 for details3. You must setup your external programs. In the main window go to Tools->Add-ons, then select this add-on and click the button "config". See Screencast 3 for details# Screencast 1 - Adding Fields # Screencast 2 - Adjusting the Card Templates # Screencast 3 - setup your external program If this is too complicated or doesn't work and you just need a pdf viewer have a look at the add-on pdf viewer which doesn't need any config.# UseI put the files I link to from my notes/cards into a the folder I set under "Default folder for relative paths" in the add-on settings (for each file type). Then it's enough to put in the file name. I can quickly fill out relative paths with an add-on like Field History. This approach makes sure that my links always work (after adjusting just one setting) and I don't move and break files by accident.The backslash is only used as a folder separator. You may not use "\" in a filename.# experimental feature: links from within any fieldRead this section carefully and fully before you use this feature.In the add-on config you can check "enable experimental feature (check the ankiweb description for details)". After restarting the following should work. Let's say you have a file named France.pdf in a folder that you have set under Default folders for relative paths for a program/extension. Then you write ___france____7 anywhere into a field in a note.Then during reviews this gets transformed into a clickable hyperlink that will open the file France.pdf on page 7. In the editor you can double-click it to open it in a pdf viewer.There are many limitations: - This is hardly tested and only for filenames (for files that are in a folder set in Default folders for relative paths).- Filenames may not contain spaces (whitespace)!!!!- All occurrences of "___" are transformed. If you have "___" in other places in your notes you'll get weird links that lead to errors when you click them.- If you run into problems and report them to me I don't know if and when I'll address them.- This add-on does not work on mobile (Ankimobile, Ankidroid, Ankiweb). Add-ons don't work on mobile.- A newer version of Anki will break this add-on at some point. I have released multiple popular add-ons over the last two years and I have updated all of them to the latest versions with little delay. But I might switch careers etc so that I have less time at this point. Who knows? So you might end up with unusable strings though I guess that with manual work and some regular expressions you should be able to transform them into something useful?# bugs, problems etc.When you click a link and nothing happens: Maybe it's a bug in my add-on or maybe there's a problem in your config - my config is not the easiest to use so maybe it's the latter and you can fix it for yourself.To find out run Anki from the command line. On MacOS the anki binary you can run from the command line is usually /Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/Anki (in 2020-11). Run this command from the app Terminal. In Windows it's C:\Program Files\Anki\anki-console.exe (though it's different for the alternate versions) which you need to run from "Command Prompt".Then Anki will print diagnostic messages in the terminal window. Whenever you click a link my add-on inserted into a card you should see the command my add-on tries to execute.Try to run this command from the Terminal/Command Prompt: If it doesn't work outside of Anki the problem is not my add-on but the config. If it works let me know. Feedback, improvements, and error reports are welcome. It's best to post these in my github repo where I can respond multiple times. # alternativesTo incrementally process pdfs have a look at the add-on Searching, PDF reading & note-taking in "Add" dialog. If you just want a simple pdf viewer have a look at the add-on pdf viewer.For editing images and sound files from your cards have a look at OpenInExternalEditor,Rename,Duplicate for Image,Audio,Video. # versions- 2022-07-14 fixes for in-field links with "___"/"____"; optionally use internal pdf viewer from the add-on "pdf viewer", at least one bug fix ...

You should only download add-ons you trust.
Instead of vbk file, you will get the PDF or EPUB file downloaded to your computer according to the book original formats. If the book you purchased is Page-Fidelity Textbook (PDF), the book you downloaded will be in PDF. If the book you purchased is Reflowable Textbook (EPUB), the book you downloaded will be in epub.
