Once again, this isn’t an amazing, breakthrough feature, but it is a small thing that can make Adobe Reader a little nicer. A click Back click, and I’m back where I started. Now I’ve seen what I needed, and want to go back to the Table of Contents. Here I’m looking at the index for Digging into WordPress, and I clicked a link to jump to that page in the PDF. Now you’ll see new Back and Forward buttons in your toolbar. When you’ve made your selections, click Ok to close the dialog. Scroll down to Page Navigation Toolbar, and check the Previous and Next button’s boxes to select them. To do this, right-click the toolbar and select More Tools. Or, you can just add the Previous and Next buttons to the toolbar. You might notice that the Go To menu shows you keyboard shortcuts for going back and forward: Alt+Left Arrow or Alt+Right Arrow, respectively. You could click View > Go To > Previous View, but that’s way too much trouble. When you click on a pdf file in a web browser it opens it in Preview mode (I have noticed that they use Word online for that) and they offer you to open it in a web browser (all web browsers have Adobe Reader add-on). Have you ever clicked a link to another page in a PDF, only to have to scroll for forever to find the page you started at when you were done? If you’re using Adobe Reader, there’s no back or forward button in the toolbar, so without digging there’s no way to just go back. Jump Back and Forth in a PDF in Adobe Reader
