I get slightly different results.

If I use the url:-

http://chuzzlewit.co.uk/eric.pdf#eric2

In a browser. The pdf opens at the named destination eric2. It works both 
with rekonq (kde browser) which passes the url to okular, and firefox 
configured to use embedded adobe reader. I know there are other 
readers/browsers which do not support this, but that's part of choosing 
the right browser for an individual.
