Tips: The Advantages of Multi-tiled Screen Display

With a multi-tiled screen display, you can open, read, edit and even format each PDF file independently of the other files. Some of the advantages include:

Adding and deleting files is easily done. This is because you do not need to find and select all the pages that make up that file. Therefore, adding or remove files is easy.
It quickens previewing. You can preview components very swiftly since you do not have to open them in their original application.
Editing can be done without affecting the other files, for instance, you can edit other files in their native applications contained inside a PDF.
Distribution can be precisely and widely done. This means you can share a specific relevant PDF file with other people without sharing the irrelevant one.
The files can be sorted according to the categories you want for example a particular topic. You just click a column name, and the list will be sorted.
