What does org mode have to do with the problem where you have a document open in a PDF viewer and you want to retrieve the location of the document in the file system and what page is currently showing in the viewer's window?

The fact that pdf-tools (in emacs) makes this an utterly trivial task.

If you're using Org-ref, and have used that to drill down into your pdfs then you always have the document context (and bibtex etc context) from within emacs. But I don't think that is the OPs use case, so apologies for the noise. Also careful use of unix find with pdfgrep can be handy.
