Let me save you a few characters in the future friend:

In both Firefox and Chrome (probably Safari too) there is a page number at the top of the page when you open the PDF. Here you can manually type in a number. Open up the PDF and enter "64" and it'll take you directly to the page you enter.

Well, they do both use PDF.js [0].

Might be, although the UI is certainly different, at least for me on Windows. The page numbers are in the top-left on Firefox but top-center on Chrome.

Chrome uses PDFium [1], not PDF.js.

Which is significantly snappier than pdf.js on big and moderately-sized PDFs.

Using that knowledge we can improve on the instructions upthread.

Just open this link: https://weber.mizecx.com/knowledge/s3/retrieve?path=knowledg...

which is the original link, with "#page=65" appended. At least on Firefox, it will lead you straight to the page in question.
