Google Drive (previously Google Docs) is a superb way to collaborate on documents, and upload any type of files to the cloud and keep them in sync with different devices. Viewing documents and even editing works great, but there are some things that you still can’t do in Google Drive. Let’s say you don’t have a PDF reader installed on your PC and you are reading the PDF on Google Drive. In such a case, it might be difficult to remember the exact page which you were reading previously. Well, if you’re using Google Chrome browser, then there’s a solution.
Enter PDF Bookmarker for Google Docs, a Chrome extension that lets you bookmark pages in PDF, which you’ve opened through Google Drive (Docs). This extension smartly remembers your bookmarked page and opens exactly that page when you open the PDF again. Apart from that, it will also sync the bookmark to the cloud, which means that when you open the PDF in Drive from some other computer, you’ll be presented with the same bookmarked page.

Now, when you open the same PDF again, this extension will open the file to the last page that you’ve bookmarked. When you bookmark another page, your previous bookmark will be removed automatically.
Go ahead, try out this extension to bookmark PDF files in Google Drive. Those who read lots of PDFs will love this extension. You won’t need to remember the page number ever again.
