About PDF Viewer
The PDF Viewer opens a document for reading with zoom, fit options, rotation, page navigation, a thumbnail sidebar, text search, and fullscreen — all in the browser. It is for quickly reading or checking a PDF without opening separate software.
Opening a PDF should not require a heavy application or an upload. Reading it locally is fast and keeps the document private, even on a device with no PDF reader installed.
Step by step
- Open the PDF you want to read.
- Use zoom or the fit options to set a comfortable size.
- Move through the document with page navigation or the thumbnail sidebar.
- Search the text to jump to a term, and rotate a page if needed.
- Switch to fullscreen for distraction-free reading.
What it offers
- Zoom and fit-width or fit-page options
- Page navigation with a thumbnail sidebar
- Text search within the document
- Rotation and fullscreen reading
Tips for best results
- Use fit-width for text documents and fit-page for slides or scans.
- The thumbnail sidebar is the quickest way to navigate a long document.
- Text search works only on PDFs with real text, not on flat scans without OCR.
