"I have always had luck using the combination Alt and the left arrow, much the same as in IE, Firefox, or any other browser. I found this out on accident when I was in a PDF document in a browser and found it worked in the standalone program as well.

On the Mac, the equivalent in Adobe Reader is command-left arrow. In Preview (the default PDF reader on Macs), the equivalent is command-[ (open square bracket)."

"For Foxit users,

As stated in the other answers you can use [alt + left arrow] as a shortcut.

If you want see this on the menu

Open Foxit
Go View tab
You can see on top left corner of the windows, previous view-next view"

"Another option is to set the links to a new window, then you just have to close the file to display the previous.

To do this:

Open the link Properties sheet.
Click the Actions tab.
Click the Edit button.
Change the Target Document, Open In property to New Window.
Click OK twice."
