Hi vcha,
First of all, the whole pdf gonna show always! If you want only particular page to show up, you need to edit the pdf on fly and strip all other pages. Adding particular page as a anchor just navigates to that page, but doesn't restrict which part of the pdf to be shown.
After that, take in mind that Dropbox shared link doesn't point to the referred file directly, but redirect to there. During this redirection any anchor in the former link gets stripped and that's why pdf files will always show from the first page. You have to scroll to desired page yourself after the document gets loaded.
Hope this helps.
