Hi Pietro Beccegato, 

 

We have checked the reported behavior in adobe and found that the SfPdfViewer behavior is the same as adobe behavior on a mobile platform. But your expected behavior is the adobe desktop platform. Could you please confirm on which platform you expect the reported behavior? This will be helpful to assist you better.
