What Happened?

The PDF reader does not save your position when you close and re-open logseq.

This makes it easy to get lost, frustrating to remember your place and hard to read long documents.

Personally, I would like to use logseq to read books (in PDF (and hopefully EPUB once you implement highlighting)), but right now this is a real impediment because I keep forgetting to manually take down my page number progress when reading (say as I fall asleep) and then I get lost!

Please help.

Reproduce the Bug
  1. Open PDF in PDF reader
  2. Close PDF/logseq
  3. Reopen Logseq
  4. Reopen PDF -> back to page 1

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the PDF reader's reopen flow and how the current page is handled across Logseq restarts; done means reopening the same PDF restores the last-read page after closing and reopening Logseq.
