Does Anyone know why Zooming Out in Adobe Acrobot app for TABLETS (not phones) doesn't work using 2 fingers pinching, and no alternative exist? 

Using a Samsung S9 Ultra tablet latest Android/UI/Adobe software.

    ​Hi @Spike911 ,

    Hope you are doing well, and thanks for the details on the device and OS.

    Quick question: which viewing mode are you using in the app, Continuous scroll or Single page? You can check this under the "More options" menu / three dots (top right) > View settings.

    The reason I ask is that this behavior is expected in Continuous mode. In Continuous scroll, the app caps the minimum zoom level at "Fit to Page Width," so pinching out past that point does nothing; no alternative gesture gets you below it either. In Single-page mode, each page is treated independently, and pinch-to-zoom out should work normally below 100%.

    If you're already in Single page mode and still can't pinch out, please here a small video recording of the steps you are taking and the issue as it occurs,  and a couple of quick checks to help narrow it down:
    - Does double-tapping on the page zoom out at all?
    - Is this happening in every PDF you open, or just certain files?

    Please check the help page on the viewing modes for reference, listed below:

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you very much Amal. Your suggestions work. I have tried Single Page before but when scrolling didn't work I abandoned it. Now I discovered that instead of scrolling you have to flip through. I still think that there was no reason to not have Zoom Out in Continuous!

    Have a nice day
