There is no direct way to open a PDF to a specific page using Embed API using parameters in the object. Instead, you need to load the file as normal and then listen for the "PDF_VIEWER_OPEN" event. At that point, you know the viewer APIs are available to execute your commands. You then use goToLocation and pass in the page number you want. You can see a working example at this CodePen. In my example, the URL has a page parameter at the end. This parameter is then used by the code to immediately go to page 4 rather than display page 1.
