Enable follow-mode for PDF in doc-view/pdf-view-mode

Question

Is it possible to customize follow mode to open the next PDF page in another buffer? Currently follow-mode has no effect on PDF files.

I believe this would be a new feature that someone needs to invent. — lawlist, Dec 18 '14 at 6:53
One approach would be to extend follow-mode so that modes like doc-view would be called at appropriate times to fill the windows with appropriate content. — Lindydancer, Apr 6 '15 at 22:12

This feature does not yet seem to exist. I have opened an issue requesting this feature on pdf-tools git.

I would love to participate on this! Unfortunately, I'm extremely time limited, but I can provide is some insight into the internals of follow-mode, as I'm the author of it. – Lindydancer Apr 7 '15 at 9:06
