PDF reader feature requests

[fkgruber]

Hi After using the PDF reader on several documents I realize that there are a couple of features that could be quite useful:

• button to go back to previous view. The pdf I was reading had a glossary at the end and it would be useful if I could go to the glossary, extract the definition of a word and then go back where I was before I went to see the glossary. This could also be useful if we have to go several pages before to find an image or an equation. Or simple review another section. Or clicking on a link to a reference. There is not way to go back and continue reading.
• alternatively, (probably more useful but probably more difficult too) would be to be able to split the screen in 2 and see 2 different sections of the same pdf . This way if I need to see another section of the pdf I don't need to lose my current location.

Usually PDF include a link back to the page, but admittedly not all of them do. I agree this is really frustrating and will consider a solution. As far as I can tell this isn't high priority though so no ETA.

Why not, could be useful.
