You may be the first that I recall wanting this feature that has never been in Apple's Preview, or Adobe's Acrobat Reader products. It doesn't exist in the Nitro PDF Pro editor either.


Seems to me that if there was a big enough customer ask, Adobe would have provided this viewing mode for Acrobat Reader long before Apple got around to it.


You can certainly send feedback to the macOS product team, but don't get your hope up.

That was to illustrate that people these days are either lazy or lost credit that they will be heard by big companies.

Also that is to illustrate that at my community I am not the one who needs this. Of course I didn't made a survey on a street but something tells me that if you ask people who deal with presentations, multiple page documents they would agree that they need it.


That's why I believe that if there was a tool where users can see what innovations and suggestions people do to the products and can easily add plus one to this or that - that will break the ice.

that was it. I can't tell you how much time I spent talking and writing to Support Agent chats. sometimes there were more than one in one day. Unfortunately apple doesn't send you your emails as a copy although it should so that people can show evidences of their reports and emails. I work on mac since 2004 so yeah. And my profile here was registered that year. and my email was one of the first gmail users registered. Unfortunately in 2016-2017 I don't remember my account here on apple communities was renovated or reset so all my old posts were deleted or gone and I was told that I should live with it! It was also a very long story that cost me a lot if nerves and time and efforts.
