Zoom out PDFs on iPad?

Hello,

Unfortunately, the iPad‘s standard apps does not have the option to zoom out in PDFs. So this means: if one zoom out with forefinger and thumb (pinch), the pdf either shortly zooms out (but does not stay like this) or closes.

In comparison pdfs can stay zoomed out onother devices or on the Mac. This would be essential to work with iPad, if you often have to use pdfs.

Is there a way to change that?

Cheers,

Andreas

Files app on iPad Pro Hi, For a while now, I’m using my iPad with Magic Keyboard as my main device whenever I’m away from my desk. Overall this experience has been great, except for one thing. When opening PDFs in the files app, it automatically fills the entire screen, and I can’t seem to figure out how to zoom out without closing the entire document. I was wondering if I’m missing something as I would really like to use the files app because I think its great to mark text in. In the meantime, I’ll be using adobe, which does allow me to zoom out.

Please Fix! Option to Hide sidebar when previewing pdf using files app in iPad? I really like the simplicity of previewing on files app in iPad. However why there is a fixed sidebar at the left while viewing pdfs? It is very annoying. There is no option to swipe or anything to move it out?

Please PLEASE, Apple, give me an option to move the ipad's pdf viewer thumbnails to the LHS of the screen! This request was already made by another user in 2020 in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251308734 but that thread got closed through inactivity. But the original poster was right. Many apple-pencil users are being driven MAD by the INFURIATING positioning of the page navigation bar in the native PDF viewer. It is virtually impossible (as a right hander) to reliably use my pencil to annotate more than the left ~1-2 inches on the screen before my palm is mis-interpreted as a request to scroll the PDF 100 pages down. This happens more than once per minute. Constantly being dumped to random parts of the document, and no way to turn it off. I N F U R I A T I N G There should be a way of moving the page-thumbs navigation to the side that the user's little finger is not on. (Right handed users of the pencil will want the thumbs on the left, and left handed users will want them on the right).
