As long as it is effectively a scan of the paper version, then you would reference it as if it was the paper version. You only reference material as web sourced with a hyperlink, if it is only available online.

For example, a paper from The Lancet can be downloaded from repositories like JSTOR, but would be referenced as though you were using the published paper version. A paper from the BMJ Open website will only be available online and so you would reference it as an online source, complete with hyperlink and access date.

We can only guess - it depends on the tutor/marker's tolerance levels. On balance I'd say that giving a page range is better than omitting page numbers altogether. But if your tutor is paying that much attention to detail, it might cost you in percentages. We have no way of knowing for sure.
