I want to increase the size of pdf preview pane for easy reading. I can resize Note Book and Note List pane. But pdf preview pane is not resizable for some reason. Is it a problem with my setup or this is an expected behavior?
If you toggle layout (Toggle Editor layout / ctrl/cmd + L or this button: ) then the pdf preview within the rendered markdown pane will just scale to the size of your entire window.
I am already using the pdf preview layout and its working great. However I am not able to resize it. In the attached screenshot I have marked 3 numbers out which I can resize 1 and 2 but not 3.
Is this a bug or an expected behavior?
With the markdown editor there are only three options:
- Editor
- Viewer
- Split view
You cannot move the divider between the editor and the viewer, it is always 50:50.
The PDF preview is always in the viewer pane so if you need to make it larger then you need to show only the viewer pane as I mentioned before.
I guess I am still confused. I just upgraded to 2.6.10 (Ubuntu 20.04) and all went well. In the previous version I was using, 2.2.1, the PDF viewer filled the window - more or less - and now the default size for the viewer is much less than the width of the window ... is there a way to change that? I have looked through all of the options and found nothing. See the image below to see what I mean.
The PDF viewer could be much wider ... and that would make it easier to view the content of the PDF.
Try Options - Appearance - Editor maximum width. Set to 0 and see if that makes things better.
(See this post: Please read this if you are wondering why there's now a margin on the note text
It's not just the pdf viewer but all the text for better readabilty...)
My thanks to you. That took care of it and I have some egg on my face as I rushed past the note just below that setting when I was looking for a setting to fix the situation. My bad and my thanks for telling me how to fix it anyway

The PDF preview pane in Notion is not currently resizable. This is an expected behavior and not a problem with your setup.
In that case I suggest you a free tools that is PDF Insider, which convert, resize, edit, splict and so on. Give it a try...
