Can't the reader just press the back button? In my PDF viewer, Evince,
which is pretty simple in terms of features, I just press "Alt P" to go
back.

In Okular, it is Alt + Shift + Left (or click on Go > Back).

Sorry if I didn't answer your question or if I misunderstood something.
To answer your question directly, I do not know how to implement that
using LyX/LaTeX.

Also, why is the document so large? How many pages is it? Is it because
you need to provide very high resolution graphics?

Best,
Scott
