Jump back botton in PDF reader

SHIBO J. shared this question ago

Need Answer

If there is a jump back button for us to return the previous page, It can be better. Sometimes after we click the [number] of the references in the paper, the page jumps to the reference page, but It is not easy to go back to the previous page I read.

The same question

Dear Shibo,

Thank you very much for your suggestion!

A Citavi user has developped an external add-on with which you can jump to the previous position after clicking a link in the PDF file.

Please follow the instructions here to install the add-on.

Kind regards,

Jana

Do you have another solution?

Hi Jana,

I am new to Citavi (just purchased a licence) and I am having the same issue as Shibo and Tali. I downloaded the add-on from the link and installed it in accordance with the instructions (i.e. created a folder AddOns and copied the unzipped files into the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Citavi 6\AddOns). Unfortunately I do not see the add-on under Tools/Manage add-ons, and I cannot jump to the previous position after clicking a link in a PDF file. Can you help me.

Hi Nikolai,

Thank you for your message.

The external add-on will not be listed in our Add-on store.

After installing the add-on, the keyboard shortcut Alt + F3 will be added to the PDF preview to jump back to the previous position (e.g. back from the bibliography to the linked reference in the text).

Could you please let me know the version of Citavi you’re using? The four-digit version number of the Citavi version you have installed can be found in the "Help" > "About Citavi" menu or in the left lower corner on your Citavi Welcome screen.

Kind regards,

Jana

Thank you for the prompt and helpful reply. The keyboard shortcut Alt + F3 works, but the command Jump to previous position in the Tools menu of Citavi's PDF Viewer (as described in the add-on documentation https://github.com/lutz/JumpToLastPositionAfterActionExecutionAddon) does not appear.

The keyboard shortcut is great when I am working on my computer, but not so helpful when I am reading on a tablet. Is there a way to add the Jump to previous positioncommand in the Tools menu of Citavi's PDF Viewer?

My Citavi version is 6.7.0.0.

Thank you again,

Hi Nikolai,

Thanks for the good news that the shortcut works.

As the add-on was not developed by Citavi, but a Citavi user, please let the developer know about the issue here:

Kind regards,
