All good but one. Need to add the feature of showing "Recently Opened PDFs", so we could easily reopen them. It's a standard feature in all doc apps. It ought to be already available without us asking for it.

I get really annoyed by the touch UI layout of chrome pdf viewer. Found this best extension that is updated regularly which doesn't occupy more vertical screen space.
