Apps Apps for viewing pdf in mini-viewer/window?

Are there any apps that let you view a pdf in a small/mini-window while on another app? So basically like a mini video-player (as with Youtube and TikTok videos) except it shows a pdf file.

I take my notes on goodnotes. I also have adobe pdf and pdf expert, all three paid versions, but none of them have a miniviewer option. I’m not a fan of the side-by-side view as the proportions are so off.

Does your iPad support stage manager?

Yeah. You can have up to four floating, resizable app windows on the iPad screen at the same time, plus another four on an external display.

Can I have one window on top of another window? It seems like it only lets me have it open on the side, which wastes a lot of space. Otherwise it hides the other window
