Even though Sav is good, you should know that it has serious security vulnerabilities, which is most likely not getting fixed anytime soon https://github.com/Sav22999/sav-pdf-viewer-pro/issues/28
Many other FOSS PDF viewers have this issue as well. For this reason, I would recommend using MJ PDF reader.
