I use qpdfview to open many PDFs with very long names at once. I specifically wanted to use a tabbed viewer to do this so that I don't have to search through a large number of individual open windows.

My previous solution was to group all (untabbed) PDF viewer windows together in a tabbed window at the window manager level (Fluxbox has this functionality), but this does not allow me to maintain multiple windows with different selections of related tabs.

I was hoping that qpdfview would help me to solve this problem (and I see that the most recent development version has made it easier to move files between windows, which is great).  However, at the moment the tabs are almost completely useless for navigation because the names are all abbreviated to near-illegibility.

I would prefer to have the tabs stacked vertically, the way e.g. Tree Style Tab stacks tabs in Firefox (disregarding the "tree" part). I can change the position of the tabs in qpdfview, but when the tabs are positioned on the left or right, the labels are rotated so that the text is vertical.

I was hoping that I could override this behaviour using a stylesheet, but it doesn't look like this is possible.

Is there any possibility of adding an alternative tab widget, with horizontal labels and a configurable width?
