I play midi piano live over zoom with the sheet music as a pdf. I don't have the free hands to click next page but I'd love to be able to do it with one of my many pedals

If you want to do this on a computer, you'd probably have to use a macro program to trigger page turns in your PDF software. I know Keyboard Maestro on the Mac can respond to MIDI input. I'm sure there is something similar for Windows.
That's what more and more orchestral players are doing with their Ipads. Not sure what kind of pedal though.
I’ve used these with players before https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/ped-pro-2-sheet-music/20463125

Downloaded it. Theres no macro to go to next page. Weird
You would have to use midi from the pedal as a trigger for a macro which types whatever keystroke turns pages in your pdf software (probably the page down/page up keys). You could alternatively have it trigger the menu item for next or previous page.
KM has no way of knowing what PDF software you are using and what the command would be, so there wouldn't be a pre-made macro for that.
Got it. Now my problem is that my free pedal is continuous/expression pedal, so it ends up turning five pages at once...
