What does ":download:`URL`" do? I've never seen that before.

Putting "#page=12" into the RST source ought to work fine, and it
would if it were a simple link (without the :download: part, e.g. just
"`GA <../LaTeX_docs/GA.pdf#page=12>`_". This produces the following
HTML:

<a class="reference external" href="../LaTeX_docs/GA.pdf#page=12">GA</a>

Please show us the HTML output you get, when you include that parameter.
