I'm interested to see who uses any of the open PDF parameters to open a PDF from the browser.

As I find links to PDF on the web I have not come across any that use any of these parameters to open a PDF in the browser. Maybe someone out there has or is using them and I just don't know about it.

Please provide any links to web sites that use these PDF open parameters. I would love to see them in action.

I already know how they work and have the documentation. I just want to see them in action in if anyone is using them.

They're not particularly well-known, and as they infer you're using Adobe products to open the PDF rather than someone else's, a lot of web developers don't see the point (let's face it, even the idea of properly-formatting a PDF for web use is a leap for some sites!). They are more commonly used for local file system links, for example between sets of PDFs on a server or CD where you want to land on a specific page, and in closed-loop review workflows where a server can link to a specific comment using it's ID. Of course neither of those will appear on public-facing websites.
