Bug Description

STEPS:
1. Open the store install doc viewer
2. Open the browser and goto https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/serverguide.pdf
3. This opens Content hub
4. Select doc viewer
5. Download manager now downloads the doc
6. Download completes and you are asked to open it
7. Open it
8. Close it now find it

EXPECTED:
I expected the doc to be in Documents or downloads

ACTUAL:
The doc is in the local .cache for the app, this means if I remove the app for something different none of my pdfs are available, or if I want to reopen the doc I can't find it.

SOLUTION:
Move the doc to a permanent directory like ~/Documents/

During the last docviewer meeting we discussed about this, and we came to the conclusion that we need a lighter confinement policy (as done for music-app and gallery-app).

This should be discussed with the security team, so we're still waiting for further informations.
