Annotating Multi-Page PDFs, Documents, Spreadsheets and Presentations

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Within Adobe Assets, we would like to request the ability to view and annotate on all pages of mulitpage files like PDFs, Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint Presentations and more. Currently, when a multipage document is added to a review task and/or workflow, and the user clicks "Payload" they can only see the first page of the document/PDF/Excel, etc. for annotation. We have tried to use the Sub-assets functionality, but it doesn't meet our business needs.
Use-case: A user is attempting to review and annotate a PDF or other document/file with multiple pages. In AEM Assets, the user can only view and annotate on the first page of the asset.
Current/Experienced Behavior: A user is notified that they have a review task in their inbox. They navigate to their inbox and open the task and click "Payload". A PDF file is opened in the viewer in Adobe Assets, and the user can only see and annotate the first page. The user has to download the PDF, annotate or comment in Adobe PDF Reader, and re-upload as a new version of the asset.
Improved/Expected Behavior: A user is notified that they have a review task in their inbox. They navigate to their inbox and open the task and click "Payload". A PDF file is opened in the viewer in Adobe Assets, and the user can move from page 1 which is the first page displayed, to the second, third and higher pages, on which they can make annotations and comments, and complete the workflow task.
