Ability to display more than 2 columns of pages at a time #4285

Very often I view large multi-page PDF documents and need to quickly skim through their content. Currently I am only able to zoom out and view the document in maximum of 2 columns. On a big 4K monitor this leaves a lot of empty space on both sides and requires me to scroll down to see through the document.

It would be very useful to implement ability to show more than 2 columns of pages. The number of columns should be limited by available space. This could be implemented similar to PowerPoint slide sorter view or to Word multi-column view.

The simpler alternate models have similar waste of space since in PDF there is a need to show spreads and variable ratios (not shown here) in a single alignment image
