Reading & Navigation Free
The Falcon PDF viewer renders documents with the platform-native PDFium engine and gives you several ways to move through them. The viewer adapts to your screen: a compact layout on phones (top bar plus bottom tabs) and an expanded layout on desktop and tablets (a toolbar with a left rail and right drawer).
Desktop
MobileScroll method​
Choose how pages advance from the settings menu:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Scroll | Continuous scrolling — the default reading experience. |
| Swipe | One page at a time, page-by-page. |
Scroll direction​
Set the reading direction to Vertical (top to bottom) or Horizontal (left to right). Direction is not available in two-page layout.
Desktop
MobileZoom​
Pinch to zoom and double-tap on touch devices, or use Ctrl/Cmd + scroll on desktop. The bottom bar cycles through quick zoom modes:
- Fit Width
- Actual Size
- Fit Height
Pan vs Select​
On desktop, toggle between Pan (drag to move the page) and Select (drag to select text) from the toolbar.
Jump to page & fullscreen​
Use Jump to Page to go straight to a page number, and toggle Fullscreen (desktop) for distraction-free reading.
Keyboard & TV remote​
Arrow keys and the D-pad pan the page. On desktop, the full shortcut set covers open, save, print, tabs, search, zoom, and navigation. Shortcuts pause while you type in a form field.
Two-page layout is being stabilized and is not available yet.
