Feature request: Sync Scroll or cursor sync on line #661

Hi there Can we have sync up scrolling when two windows are open side by side? One window is the output generated (text file) and second is the pdf window. Alternatively (better) , can we have cursor or a marker in pdf keeps moving as we navigate inside text file on one side for changes when both windows are open side by side.

This could be of huge convenience; as once the file is generated , we need to correct the output characters where scan couldn't identify the correct characters.

Thanks for your help and the very useful product.

It will be helpful to have an option (via preferences?) to allow page break introduced in text files at same positions where the new page starts / separate page in PDFs. This can help during text correction to sync scrolling too. Thanks again.
