Same for me. (Debian-12 Linux)

I'm getting a lot of information from service providers as individual PDF files
(e.g. monthly bank account statements).
Years before those used to be paper letters. And when they where letters, I
could have a quick look trough a pile of letters having them lying on my desk.
Just to see if there was anything important.
With the PDF files I've to go back and forth between Dolphin (file manager) and
Okular.



# eMail analogy (like Thunderbird, KMail or Gwenview)

I'm  thinking of something like the user interface in an email program like
Thunderbird (pretty much the same for KMail / Kontact). There you have a list
of entries the current folder and a "content pane" showing the currently
selected folder entry. Just not for mails, but for PDFs.
(And optionally a tree view of all folders at the side. But I'd consider that
optionally for Okular.)

And the content of the folder entry should be properly scaled. I've tried the
information and preview sidebar in Dolphin. But the content of a PDF,
containing letter / DIN-A4 sized pages, is too small to read in Dolphin. Even
when increasing the information pane size.
Again think of the message pane in Thunderbird. It shows the top of the email
at a scale so you can read it.

Actually Gwenview has something that comes very close to this for pictures. You
can have a folder pane at the side and there's also a list of the pictures in
the current folder. And in particular you can make a setting (in Gwenview's
configuration) to keep the scale and position when switching between pictures,
which is even more important for letter sized PDFs with 12pt text.
So either Okular should adapt this view mode from Gwenview. Or maybe a joined
feature like this for images and PDFs (and PostScript files, EPUB's, etc.)
should be added to Dolphin.


Alternatively you can also think of opening an email sized to the full window
in Thunderbird. In that case there are buttons and hotkeys to easily switch to
the next or previous email in the same folder.
