 * I’m trying to link to a specific page in a PDF. It appears that the “#page=2”
   portion of my URL is stripped out. How can I make this work?

 * Is it being stripped out by WordPress upon publishing, or by the browser upon
   clicking the link?
 * As far as I know, this is not an actual standard and browser support is not universal.
   See this Stack Overflow Q&A: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13427302/linking-from-a-web-page-to-a-specific-section-anchor-in-pdf-document](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13427302/linking-from-a-web-page-to-a-specific-section-anchor-in-pdf-document)
 * I just tried this using WordPress 5.0.3 and Twenty Seventeen theme on Windows
   7 with Chrome 71, Firefox 64 and Internet Explorer 11 — **and it worked on all
   of them.** My caveat is I’m using the **native PDF viewer** of all these browsers:
   I don’t have any external PDF reader or plugin installed on my PC at all.
 * Are you able to provide the URL to the page with the PDF anchor link so that 
   I can test from my end for you?

 * Nevermind, it appears a plugin was stripping the “page=2” for admins.
