Adaptive full width for PDF (one-click)
planned
v
vision assemblies
would be great + QoL improvement to have a one-click way to set PDF-views to full page width. it´s something nearly every app working w/ PDFs has; and it would greatly improve some work scenarios – … like working with pdfs in side panel, inhibiting the 'floating page' problem etc.
– in a way this is a sub-request to this larger scope ticket: https://capacities.io/feedback/p/pdf-object-improvements

Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for the feedback, do you mean full width embed or object views?
v
vision assemblies
Luca Joos I mean the PDF view itself.
currently, one can press '+' and '-' to adapt – roughly.
but first, it never really matches the PDF display window itself;
second, normal expectation is to have a 1-click solution.
fitting pdfs in full width, so one can see everything in one view, and
disallow any wiggle space while scrolling or paging through
, is what most apps somehow provide…Luca Joos
vision assemblies: I see, thanks for pointing that out. This is a good idea, even if it is not the highest priority!

hey Luca Joos,
great to see this planned! appreciated!
… one 'P.S. thought', or a kind of deepening the thought / intention:
I now think, what I wanted to get to is the simple fact that PDFs are
page based
. so, people in standard use / expectation, really want to interact with & view pages. everything else is derivative on that (zooming in; seeing page spreads(!), browsing + scrolling multiple pages, interacting with chapters / bookmarks etc.so, what I think would really improve the whole 'impact' of embedded PDFs is a way to auto focus the page dimensions of any given PDF.
(I am aware some PDFs can have different pages dimensions; but this really is a deviation from standard logic).
this would
include
height alongside width, and it would be nice to provide a way to resize the view-window dimensions to match the standard page dimension of any given PDF. – I do think this could even be done as default setting, as it simply is the most 'natural' way to interact with PDFs. but alternatively, any 'one-click' solution to get there would also be very helpful / welcome…
Thx for further consideration hereto. 🙏
