Translating from the native Phillipian to app requirements, you're 
seeking iPadOS Safari and its in-built PDF Preview support to not to 
render embedded or linked PDFs as one long, continuous webpage?

If that's what you want, then the Books app (with vertical scrolling 
disabled) and the PDF Expert app (select Annotate) can both provide PDF 
per-page rendering, and tap-to-advance.

I use the PDF Expert app when what Preview offers for PDF processing is 
inadequate, usually only when working with some arcane PDF file, or 
with some PDF-based forms file.

iPadOS Books page-scrolling defaults to left and right margin taps for 
directional paging, but can be set so that taps to either left or right 
margins advance by using Settings > Books.

Books and document synching, I use heavily with PDF files. Which for 
folks in the Apple ecosystem, then usually means that the user's Books 
library (ePub and PDF files) is either stored on a Mac, and/or is 
stored in iCloud.
