GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 661604
Full screen preview should not use a continuous view

We shouldn't use a continuous view for documents in preview mode, but always pan to the current page. When the orientation of the document matches the one of the display, this basically means entering a presentation-like mode by default. When they do not match, we should zoom to best width by default, with scrolling to move the viewport over the current page.
Yes, I really wish that Documents had a "F5" presentation mode like Evince or LibreOffice for at least PDF, .ppt, .pptx, and .odp.
Presentation mode is a separate feature which I think would make sense to have. The part covered by this bug has been fixed in git master now though so let's close this. See bug 689041 and bug 689038 for known improvements we want at this point, and feel free to open a separate report for presentation mode.
