    ../test.pdf#zoom=scale,left,top

    Set the view of the displayed page, using the keyword values defined in the PDF language specification. See the PDF Reference. Scroll values left and top are floats or integers in a coordinate system where 0,0 represents the top left corner of the visible page, regardless of document rotation. Use the page command before this command.

    ../test.pdf#page=pagenum&view=Fit
