request for a dedicated pdf viewer and changes in UI of pdf viewer

[himharvyas123]

1. Firefox pdf viewer is neat and clean unlike Adobe reader (which has messy UI due to irritating AI features and paid features' promotion) but whenever I open the pdf in firefox pdf viewer it opens up in a new tab. It would be great you people develop a dedicated pdf viewer or the pdf should open in a new window and this window should have different icon than the firefox for no confusion.

2. the full screen mode is not entirely full screen - it has an uppermost bar . In full screen mode- please provide an option to remove this uppermost bar so that I can focus on the pdf content during my studies.

3. when in non-full screen mode- instead of droping down the menu -please directly show the title or name of the pdf in uppermost bar.

4. like windows OS uses magnifier tool you should provide a magnifier tool which should not be available as option but should be available with a shortcut - so that we can use it without any disturbance like Ctrl+cursor and Alt+cursor.

5. in one of my laptops - in which I am using windows 11 the task bar is thin and to make it thicker I have to get the cursor there. either provide a thicker taskbar or provide an option to choose thicker or thinner taskbar.

6. Please provide us the option to zoom at specific level instead of provided ones and Save this zoom level for further pdfs to be opened.

Your suggestions are very practical and reflect real usability needs for frequent PDF users.

A dedicated PDF viewer would indeed be more convenient than opening PDFs in a browser tab. Opening files in a separate window with a distinct icon would also avoid confusion when multiple tabs are active.

Fullscreen mode should truly be distraction-free, so removing the persistent top bar would help users focus better on study material. Similarly, showing the PDF title directly in the top bar in normal mode would improve clarity without requiring extra clicks.

A quick magnifier tool activated via keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl + cursor movement) would be highly useful for examining small text or diagrams without interrupting reading flow.

Taskbar customization in Windows 11, including adjustable thickness options, would improve accessibility on different screen sizes.

Lastly, allowing precise zoom levels and saving default zoom preferences per user would greatly enhance the reading experience across multiple documents.

For a cleaner alternative, you can try FreeViewer PDF Reader for Windows or macOS, which offers a lightweight, distraction-free PDF viewing experience.
