Q: We have a huge catalog exported to XML using BatchXSLT for InDesign. Now we should be able to send out direct links to an item of interest. This link should open the catalog, flip to the page and show the desired article. Possible?
A: Yes, possible: the information on article id and page number is needed.
This information can be obtained from the html flipbook file. Search for your article text and get the 'id' attribute of its container div element. Should look like this: id="Art65_13". This means article id 65 on page 13. You also can get this information from the XML file.
Now build a link like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/flipbook/html/bookfilename.htm?p=13&a=65
