The document module works quite well, but I have a few thoughts regarding PDF handling- not sure if anyone agrees?

1) Remember last viewed page on PDFs- it would be useful if the viewer could either interpret the usual contents outline some other PDF viewers can, or at least remember the last page on a PDF that was viewed. I often find jump from navigation view, to viewing a PDF file with plates, then want to go back to navigation, but later want the same plate I briefed on earlier. Tee arching again through 300+ plates each time I go to the document gets a bit tedious. Is there anyway of either bookmarking, recalling last page viewed on that flight, or at least allowing set of the contents outline feature?

2) Zoom - it would be nice if there was an option that on opening a PDF it can be zoomed automatically to full page width. It is sometimes awkward to zoom in correctly in turbulent conditions!

3) Folders - is it possible to allow user documents to be put in folders? I might use a folder for weather, aircraft documents, travel documents etc.?

SkyDemon just about integrates all things flight nowadays. The only apps I have to use alongside are GoodReader PDF viewer, due to the above issues, and my electronic check list. Sadly, on using these, SkyDemon doesn't always record my journey, and I get breaks in the logs.
