Fit PDF icon

Fit PDF is an Obsidian plugin that opens PDF files with fit height enabled by default instead of fit width.

Obsidian's built-in PDF viewer currently initializes PDFs at page-width. This plugin switches newly opened PDFs to page-height, so an entire page fits vertically in the reading pane.

Features

  • Sets newly opened PDF views to fit height.
  • Applies once per opened PDF file, so manual zoom changes afterward are not repeatedly overridden.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository.

  2. Copy these files into your vault:

    YOUR_VAULT/.obsidian/plugins/fit-pdf/main.js
    YOUR_VAULT/.obsidian/plugins/fit-pdf/manifest.json
    YOUR_VAULT/.obsidian/plugins/fit-pdf/versions.json
    
  3. In Obsidian, open Settings -> Community plugins.

  4. Turn off Restricted mode if needed.

  5. Enable Fit PDF.

  6. Reopen a PDF.
