Please provide a “refresh” button for pdfs read from cloud
If I have open a pdf, from the cloud(google drive/document cloud/OneDrive etc), on two different devices(iPad & PC), and if I save(to the cloud) the changes made to the file on one of the devices it’s open in, there should be a refresh button to reload the file from the cloud on the other device I’m viewing it in. This is more seamless than coming out of the pdf and then clicking on it again to reload it and view the changes on the other device.

Acrobat (and all its derivatives & applications) desperately needs a "Reload" or "Refresh" command for the currently selected .PDF document. Not only may the document have changed on the server without a semaphore lock on the file, but also Acrobat applications can frequently run into some kind of file reading problem, such as temporarily disconnected server, internet connection, corrupted connection, or not enough memory at the moment. Who knows why these issues weren't accounted for, but because of these issues, it seems very short-sighted from the development side to not have included a simple way to refresh/reload the currently selected document. Also, the 'recent files' list does not seem to update to include the currently selected file when such an issue occurs; so, it's doubly frustrating because the user can not simply close & reload the file from the 'recent files' list.
