About This Feature
Overview
The Title Bar is located at the top of the WPS PDF window. It shows the current document name, document tabs, and window control buttons. The left side displays the WPS Office icon and the current document name, the middle area displays document tabs, and the right side provides Minimize, Maximize or Restore, and Close buttons.
When you work with multiple PDF files at the same time, the Title Bar serves as a central switching area. You can use tabs to identify open documents and move between them quickly.

| Capability Summary | The WPS PDF Title Bar shows the current document name, document tabs, and window control buttons. It supports opening multiple documents and switching between them through tabs. | Word desktop can open multiple documents, but Microsoft states there is no built-in tabbed feature for opening multiple documents in one single interface. | Google Docs offers document tabs to organize longer documents, centralize information, and add subtabs inside one document. | Notion desktop supports tab switching, tab previews, and opening a new page in a new tab. | Acrobat supports opening multiple PDF files with tabs grouped in the top bar for easier access. |

Advantage: For PDF reading and multi-document switching, the Title Bar combines document tabs and window controls in one area.
Overall Conclusion
WPS Title Bar is well suited to handling multiple PDF files in one window while keeping document switching and window controls together. If your focus is organizing sections inside one long collaborative document, Google Docs document tabs are more content-structure oriented. If your work centers on PDF-focused workflows, Acrobat also provides a tabbed document experience.
