Even thought the URL suffix #page=n (where n is a page number) has been available for many years when linking to PDF files, I do not believe I have ever seen it used, even though I use it all the time. It provides the electronic equivalent to taking a document or book off your desk and showing it to a colleague and saying “That explanation I told you about is described here on this page.” Just a month ago, I was at a barbecue where a neighbor was complaining that he could not figure out how to remove the photos all at once from his digital camera (I have the same problem with my wife’s camera, every 6 months when I have to do it—clearly, a UI design issue). I asked him what model it was, looked it up later that day and sent him an e-mail message similar to this: “Bob, this page in the user guide for your camera explains how to do it—it seems pretty easy.” He appreciated it, though I never learned if he had tried to find that page using the table of contents of his manual, or even if he still had his manual.
