Anything that will sync PDF bookmarks across devices?

Is there any app out there that will allow me to import a PDF, have it appear on multiple devices (Android devices/iOS/dekstop ideally) and have my reading progress sync'd between them?

I've looked all over and found many apps that support this for books you buy from them, but none that seem to offer sync of your own books that you import.

I think there are some gaps right now, but I think Kindle platform will support this before much longer. You can already add PDFs to your Personal Documents storage, and PDF support is enabled on Android and iOS and the desktop apps, as well as Kindle itself. Amazon has invested in FoxIt and seems to have plans to do more with PDF in the future (no doubt for more traction in textbook market etc.). I'm not sure all the apps support PDocs fully yet. But I will try it and see...might be tomorrow however before I can get to it.

On my iPhone, PDs are supported, on my Xoom, not... (and also not on my Mac)
Got a generic reply when I asked about it.
