1820156 - Possibility to permanently change the display format of the PDF document pages

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, enhancement)

Description

[WfJjrdAr]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0

Steps to reproduce:

On wide screens, "Three Pages Continuously" would be ideal. In Mozilla Firefox, its counterpart is the more versatile "Wrapped Scrolling". However, you have to switch to it every time you open a PDF. It eats up a lot of time when there are more than a hundred such documents during each working day.

Actual results:

When opening a PDF document, it is always displayed in "Vertical Scrolling" mode.

Expected results:

I suggest giving the user the ability to choose which of the modes to use by default - the above, "Page Scrolling", "Vertical Scrolling", "Horizontal Scrolling" or "Wrapped Scrolling".

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::PDF Viewer' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is already possible through about:config, by changing the value of the pdfjs.scrollModeOnLoad preference (use 2 for wrapped scrolling); the available values are https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/4e52bcee4484a1c755a90af48a507b4532542f82/web/ui_utils.js#L62-L68
