7Create a citation for a PDFAs a user I would like to create a citations so I can properly reference the work as part of my scholarshipNice to Have

Out of scope, citations will be available for all formats not just PDF. Citations requirements will be added in a different feature set - Paul

9Sync my location and bookmarks in a PDFAs a user I want to be able to read a book on multiple devices and be able to pickup reading or reference my bookmarks and annotations for the bookMust Have

Development: This will likely never be fulfilled by our current velocity combined with level of effort.

Would recommend to de-prioritize from "must have".
