Presentation mode button is missing

[Aarass]

I can't find a way to enter presentation mode. Is it removed in the latest version? Why?

Did you check the 》menu on the top right corner? Presentation mode has been under that menu since a long time.

If it is not even there, can you give more details (browser & OS version, doqment version) and a screenshot? Thanks!

[Aarass]

Yes, it was there since like two weeks ago.
I'm using Chrome on Windows 11
doqment version 0.9.1

Indeed, you are right! Since the last Chrome update, the viewer is loaded in an iframe, and I didn't explicitly set its permission to request fullscreen. The PDF.js library was reading the (lack of) permission and hiding the button.

It is a straight-forward fix, I will update and push a new minor release this week. Thanks for bringing this to my notice!

@Aarass Meanwhile, just out of curiosity: do you use presentation mode to actually present PDFs on a screen/projector, or only for fullscreen reading?

Because with Page Scrolling mode, going fullscreen with F11/Chrome menu and hiding the PDF toolbar with F3 achieves nearly the same effect (that's three steps instead of one, but still).

[Aarass]

I use it only for fullscreen reading.

The three steps you mentioned almost work. However, the issue I’m having is that I can see the scrollbar at almost all zoom levels. The automatic zoom options leave a small amount of scrolling for some reason (I suspect it’s due to the padding around the page). The scrollbar disappears when I choose a small zoom level, like 50%, but then, what’s the point?

[shivaprsd]

I agree, it is not the exact same experience. As I said, the fix is on the way. Thanks for your patience!

(By the way, I think the zoom level is more like Page Fit in Presentation mode. And you cannot change it, so the above trick is useful if someone also needs to zoom in fullscreen, if they don't mind the scrollbars)

This is now fixed in v0.9.2. The update should be live on the store in a few hours. Sorry for the delay!
