PDF documents have hyperlinks to the contents on the same document (analogous to "#section" hrefs for an HTML document). Where's the back button to go back to the page I was on (where I clicked the hyperlink).
Let's say I'm on the index of a PDF tutorial, page 4, and I click on Chapter 2's hyperlink in the index that takes me to page 38. Now, if I want to go back to page 4 again, which button or shortcut should I use?
Within all browsers, excpet Google Chrome, you can press Alt and the left arrow to achieve this. Is there a similar shortcut within Google Chrome?

A: You can use the Previous View button to go back to the previous location in the document. On the bottom navigation toolbar, click on the Previous View icon. You can use Next View to go forward to the link location again. It makes it easy to toggle back and forth between the 2 locations.
Right-click on the toolbar. 2. Select Show Page Navigation Tools > Previous View. The toolbar now has a back button.
AFAIK there is no way to do it with the standard Chrome PDF Viewer. Take a look at their support page https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1060734. You could try requesting this feature but keep in mind that the PDF viewer is part of Chrome, not Chromium.

I think it is simpler to just open the hyperlink in a new tab e.g. with the middle mouse button. Then you can just close the tab afterwards.
