SumatraPDF new features: April 2, 2026

New in the SumatraPDF pre-release builds:

Scrollbars setting and Change Scrollbar dialog

The new Scrollbars advanced setting picks the scrollbar style: windows, smart, overlay or hidden. It replaces the HideScrollbars and UseOverlayScrollbar settings. The new Change Scrollbar command (CmdChangeScrollbar) opens a dialog to pick the mode.

Shrink To Fit zoom

New Shrink To Fit zoom mode (CmdZoomShrinkToFit): pages smaller than the window show at 100%, larger pages are fitted to the window. It is in the zoom menu and command palette, and works from the command line.
