Going directly to a specific page in a PDF file

When accessing a PDF file through a web browser, it's possible to go to a specific page by adding a parameter to the URL.

www.mysite.ca/docs/mydoc.pdf#page=100

This is great for bookmarking a specific page in a PDF.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for accessing a PDF from the command line.

Keep in mind that the counter goes from the cover page, so to reach page 100 you may to increase the number to account for the cover page, table of contents, and other content wihch comes before the page labelled "page 1".

Now isn't that handy?
