Hyperlinks with permalinks do not work on Microsoft Excel

Hyperlinks with permalinks do not work on Microsoft Excel

In Microsoft Excel, I go to a cell and create a hyperlink to a PDF document as follows:
http://mysite.com/MyDocument.pdf#page10
Unfortunately, when I click to it my web browser(Chrome) goes to the following link:
http://mysite.com/MyDocument.pdf%20-%20page10
which of course returns 404 - Not Found. This only works for Internet Explorer. How can I make it work for Chrome/Firefox?
Strangely, when I use any other kind of permalink (which does not point to a PDF, for instance), it works fine. For instance the following works:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/db/models/#using-models
