Multiple-page display (more than 2)
Multiple-page view with more than 2 horizontal pages.
Desired feature has the option for any number of horizontal page-view with scrolling option as well as fixed display option. By zooming in and out the pages would automatically fill up the sides of the screen and adjust the number of column and raws of pages in the screen for scrolling. User could as well select any number of horizontal pages that are (higher than 2) in the display tool in the toolbar.
Currently Adobe does not have an option that allows to display more than 2 pages side by side. When 2 page view is selected and zoomed out, the sides of the screen cannot be filled with pages horizontally.
- Being able to see more than 4 pages without making the pages tiny would be a great feature for users as the users would not have to be limited to 2 pages horizontally. The pages would not have to be zoomed out excessively in order to fit more than 4 pages into one screen. This would help users to skim through a large file quickly and study the material in a quicker pace.

Sorry, I don't recall what all I tested, but I know Xodo PDF on the android platform does this (multi-page view as a grid). I don't think you can set the zoom level for the grid, though ...

Perhaps related -- Drawboard (and several other PDF apps) have a multi-page view that fills the screen with a grid of small representations of the document. This allows an individual to quickly skim to a relevant part of a document when no bookmarks are present (probably more helpful for a technical document with chapter or section headings and figures).
If you can set the zoom on this to be variable (a continuous slider, for example), and automatically reflow the page grid display, I think this gets at the original posters recommendation to allow an individual to actually read through however many pages will comfortably fit on their screen size. To preempt potential future requests, it would be nice to have a setting that sets if you would prefer to scroll horizontally or vertically, so you prioritize which dimension of a page (width or height) to show fully (so, for vertical scrolling, have the full width of each page in the grid be displayed, while for horizontal scrolling, show the full height of each page).
