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
