    SOLVED!!! To make the document full screen, single-tap on the sides or top of the document. In the past a double-tap would do the trick, however, since the update that double-tap is now for magnifying the document.

Good day Christopher.

 

Thanks for your reply :) I have sent you two example pictures. The first one is of the split page. The second one is of how it looks when I double click on the file that I want to open and that it zooms in, but stays in 'split mode'.

 

I cant see any other icon/method to make it full screen ( it used to do this automatically when I double clicked on the file  I wanted to enlarge ) but it keeps splitting it now, regardless.   

 

Any advice?

      I am having the same problem. It started after the most recent update. I can not either make the document come up in Full Screen, or make the file list on the left go away. This is on an iPad with the latest iOS.
