I was testing the PDF plugin with a large PDF that already is a magazine in Newsstand. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice if the back button went to whatever page it left off from. For example, reading a magazine and you click a hyperlink on page 30. Browser opens up and follows the link. If you hit the back button on the top navigation bar, you go back to the menu . and have to start over scrolling from page 1. In contrast what happens in Newstand with the magazine, is that the browser opens up. . . .hit the home button . . . tap the magazine (app) icon, and the pdf opens back up to where it left off. I don't know code, or if that is even possible, but it would make large pdfs much easier to read if they contain hyperlinks.

Would that help to do a quick jump? -- Niraj Comments A PDF's table of content has hyperlinks for each section. Would that help to do a quick jump? -- Niraj
