The problem with using revert in this way is that it returns one to
the first page of the document.  It's also a pain that there isn't
a keyboard shortcut for it.

I happily use the free version of Adobe Reader for displaying PDF
documents in final form.  Sadly, there isn't even a revert command in
the free version of Adobe Reader.  (The best I've come up with is to
close the window, and open the appropriate entry of the recently
viewed files).

Does anyone know for sure whether there is an Adobe product that one
must pay for that does offer this functionality?  Or can anyone point
me to a discussion of why they haven't provided this functionality?
It seems maddening to me that Adobe Reader is so close to what I want,
but lacks a key feature.  I guess I could say the same thing about
Preview.
