Soda PDF contains several view modes to enhance navigating your documents. These are all free of charge and housed within the View Module.
Topics:
Document View
Single - This view mode will display one page at a time. When you reach the bottom of one page it will jump to the following page.
Continuous - You will be able to scroll smoothly from the end of one page to the beginning of the next. You will be able to see both pages at once.
Facing - This view mode is the same as Single except that there will be two pages side by side instead of a single column of pages. The same rules as Single apply.
Facing Continuous - This view mode is the same as Continuous except that there will be two pages side by side instead of a single column of pages. The same rules as Continuous apply.
Check the box if you want the cover page in the facing view to be shown.
You can also find all of the options mentioned above by clicking the arrow in the zoom bar:
3D View - Your document will be displayed as though it were a book. You can flip through the pages by holding the mouse button while dragging the page inward from a corner. You will see the page flip as though it were an actual page. You can also use the mouse wheel to scroll between pages.
You can also right-click anywhere on the document while the View mode is active and select the 3D View option.
Fullscreen - This will fill the screen with only your document. You can end this by pushing the Esc key.
You can also right-click anywhere on the document while the View mode is active and select the Fullscreen option.
You may also use the F11 key to toggle between the fullscreen and normal viewing modes.
