I have windows 10 and when I download and open a PDF file I cant select the page directly.The only option I can see is "find on page" when I type in the page it selects the first page with that number on it.

So for example I type in 250 ( I'm looking for page 250) but what I get is page 80 with a maths problem with the numbers 250 in it. Is there a setting I can change to only find pages?

Hope I'm making sense.
