Since I see that there several MUPDF fans here, I thought I'd share something that I found about it.

What I wanted is the bookmarking capability. MUPDF has it, but by reading the manual, I had the impression that it can only do "m" and "t", which is to mark a page, and go back to it. If you do "m" on several pages, then you can go back to them one by one using several "t" s. (Just like a stack push and pop).

But there is a better way: you can do ?m and ?t, where ? is a number. Then you can make several marks independently and go back to any of them at any time.

Maybe you have already known this, but just in case ...

I just learned about it yesterday, so if you had mentioned it a day sooner, it would have been news to me.

The problem with this is that the bookmarks do not save across sessions (they don't save after I close MuPDF). At least, this is how it is in the darcs version.
