Capability Summary	In Smart Documents, Page Setup provides a panel for cover image, document info bar, text style, page width, and personal preference access.	Word for Mac provides page orientation, printing, and Page Setup controls that focus more on paper and print layout.	Google Docs lets users switch between pages and pageless formats, and adjust orientation, margins, paper size, and text width in pageless view.	Notion pages support font style, small text, full width, cover images, and controls for backlinks and page discussions.	Acrobat mainly focuses on PDF page display, page organization, and cover-page-related workflows for PDF viewing and editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings common Smart Document page appearance settings into one panel, which is convenient for quickly standardizing reading and collaboration views.	Compared with WPS: Word focuses more on traditional print layout and paper settings.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs has clear pages and pageless modes, but page appearance controls are split across different document behaviors.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible page styling, but it is centered more on workspace pages than on office document page settings.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered more on PDF viewing and page processing than on live document page appearance settings.
