After much searching I finally figured out the installed Adobe Reader extensions for the browsers will not naviage to any PDF URL that has #page= or #[destination anchor]. It simply ignores the page number or anchor in the URL string. Once I removed the extension from my browser, so it used the default simple PDF reader embedded in the browser, all my links worked. This works in Chrome and Brave. It does NOT work in MS Edge as the Adobe Reader extension is embedded by default, so those URLs will not work in MS Edge. Thought I would share with everyone. Adobe needs to fix this issue in the Adobe Reader extension that users install in their browsers.
