PDFBaba
Online PDF Tool

Page layout & mode

Set initial page layout (single, two columns, two pages) and page mode (outlines, thumbs, full screen).

Why use Page layout & mode?

Initial view settings—single page, two-up, attachments panel, full screen—shape first impressions. PDFBaba can set catalog page layout and page mode together for consistent launches. This is metadata-level change, not content editing. No signup is required, and uploads are deleted after about one hour. Pair with Export bookmarks when navigation should match the chosen mode.

Supported files & limits

One PDF; set initial layout (e.g. single, two-up) and mode (outlines, thumbs). The default upload limit is 100MB per file; administrators can raise or lower this via server configuration.
