Firefox (I do not know if pdf.js is cut off from IceCat) have a special 
button to obtain link like

file:///path/to/file.pdf#page=5&zoom=310,131,734

Chromium handles page=N part successfully. Unfortunately vertical axis 
has the opposite direction. Exactly the same discrepancy of vertical 
offset notion I have noticed with xpdf vs. pdftotext.

I suppose, it is reasonable to have #page=N form at least in exported 
documents. A simple wrappers should allow other applications to open 
files at the specified page. Anyway every desktop PDF viewer has its own 
way to specify page number.

I do not think that either of browsers would agree to change base point 
of vertical offset. Maybe additional parameter could be added to specify 
direction and to avoid ambiguity.
