Read Multiple PDF Files in the Parallel View
The parallel view allows you to read two or more PDF files side-by-side (either horizontally
or vertically) in the same window, instead of creating multiple instances. When reading
PDF files in the parallel view, you can view, annotate, or modify each PDF file independently.
However, the Read Mode and Full Screen Mode operations are simultaneously applied to
PDF files that are currently active in all tab groups. To create the parallel view, right-click
on the file tab of the PDF document that you want to move to a new tab group, and choose
New Horizontal Tab Group or New Vertical Tab Group to display the file in a horizontal
or vertical parallel view respectively. While in the parallel view, you can switch between file
tabs within the same tab group in the same way as you read PDFs in multi-tabs. Foxit PDF
Reader will return to the normal view when you close all the other PDF files to leave only
one tab group opened or relaunch the application.
Switch between Different View Modes
You can view documents with text only, or view them in Read mode, Full Screen, Reverse
View, Reflow mode, and Night Mode.
Using Foxit Text Viewer
With Text Viewer under the View tab, you can work on all PDF documents in pure text
view mode. It allows you to easily reuse the text scattered among images and tables, and
acts like Notepad.
View PDF Document in Reflow Mode
Click Reflow in the View or Home tab to reflow a PDF document and temporarily present
it as a single column that is the width of the document pane. The Reflow Mode allows you
to easily read PDF document when it is magnified on a standard monitor, without scrolling
horizontally to read the text.
View PDF Document in Night Mode
The Night Mode in Foxit PDF Reader allows you to invert black and white to reduce eye
strain in low light conditions. Click Night Mode in the View tab to enable or disable the
Night Mode.
