[iOS] Feature request: use full vertical screen space to display PDF (remove gap at bottom)

venpopov

When reading a PDF, the iOS app is not using the full vertical screen space and cuts of half a centimeter above the bottom, where the standard iOS white bar appears. I'd like to request that the PDF uses the full vertical space, as it most other PDF readers on iPad. This is especially useful in the upcoming iPadOS26 where apple finally has decided to get rid of that white bar and hide it automatically. I am running the iPad beta on one of my tablets, and in Zotero the bottom bar is gone and there is just a awkward gap at the bottom of the screen.

How it looks on iOS18 Zotero:

PDF expert uses the full vertical space (and automatically hides the white bar even on the existing iOS18):

So does the new native Preview app on iOS26:
