I had no idea one could link directly to PDF pages. Thanks for the tip!

Chrome & other browsers have had PDF reading capabilities for a long, long time. I actually can't remember a time when you couldn't view a PDF inside Chrome/Firefox.

You might also be interested to know that Google indexes PDFs. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=graph+theory+pdf

I think they were referring to the #page=5 part of the URL.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Ohhh, that makes a lot of sense -- sorry if my comment came off as patronizing.

Use "filetype:pdf" in the search to get PDF files only, not mentions of them.
