Toolbar and controls
Every button on the viewer toolbar, and how to show or hide each one site-wide or per embed.
On this page
The toolbar is compact on purpose: the everyday controls are always visible and the rest sit in the More tools menu. On narrow screens it collapses further.
Controls#

[foliora file="…" hide="rotate,pan,shortcuts"]Site-wide defaults#
Set the defaults for every viewer on Foliora → Settings:
- Viewer defaults — Download button, Print button.
- Toolbar — Search in document, Theme switcher, Share button, Keyboard shortcuts guide, Full screen button, Presentation button.
An attribute on a single embed always wins over the site default.
Other viewer features#
- Selectable text and working links — the PDF.js text layer lets readers select and copy text; links inside the PDF are clickable.
- Password-protected PDFs — the viewer asks for the password and shows “Incorrect password.” on a wrong try.
- No JavaScript — visitors and crawlers without JavaScript see an “Open / Download PDF directly” link.
- Credit link — an optional “Powered by Foliora” link under each viewer, off by default (Settings → Credit link).
Foliora Pro can move the toolbar to the bottom, reorder its button groups, change its colours and add your logo. See Reader look & toolbar layout.
