Use split-window view
Using the Split commands, you can view a document with the document pane divided into two panes (Horizontal Split and Vertical Split) or four panes (Quad Split). While viewing a document with split windows, you can scroll though pages, adjust zoom level, or jump to a specific page in one of the panes independently.
