in a script, add the page parameter to the file path and set that as the source of the image.

Here is an example (assuming that the page number is stored in a variable pageNumber):

var imagePath = "file:///C:/image-collection.pdf?page=" +

pageNumber;

imageStr += '<img src="' + imagePath + '">';

results.after(imageStr);
