Frequently asked questions
Is there a seamless way to browse, read, or study a PDF online?
Yes — Viewing Mode gives you a clean, uncluttered screen for light browsing, reading, or studying a document from start to finish.
Can I still highlight or underline text while using Viewing Mode?
Yes — tools like Highlighter and Pen are always just a tap away. Mark up a passage whenever you need to, then go right back to reading.
Does Viewing Mode change anything about my PDF?
No — it only changes how the page feels while you're going through it. Nothing about the document itself, or anything you add to it, is affected.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere to use Viewing Mode?
No. Viewing Mode runs entirely inside your browser tab, the same as every other feature here — your PDF is never sent to a server.
