Is there a way to share a direct link to a .pdf file that opens in the browser rather than forcing a download? Right now box.com forces the viewer of the direct link to download the file. We need to share .pdf files with anchor tags in the url that open the pdf file to the correct page or section like this:

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4">

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#glossary">

Since box.com forces a download the #page=4 is lost and it downloads the pdf to the user's computer.

We are going to have to start a wordpress website just so we can share pdf files with anchor tags in the url because none of the file sharing services address this unmet need. Please let me know if there is a trick I don't know about to enable this.
