Magnifying and reducing the page view
The minimum and maximum zoom levels available depend on the current page size. If you magnify a page to a size larger
than the window, use the hand tool to move the page around so that you can view all the areas on it. Moving a PDF page
with the hand tool is like moving a piece of paper on a desk with your hand.
To increase magnification:
Do one of the following:
A. Select the zoom-in tool, and click the page.
B. Select the zoom-in tool, and drag to draw a rectangle, called a marquee, around the area to magnify.
C. Click the Magnification button in the status bar, and choose a magnification level.
To decrease magnification:
Do one of the following:
A. Select the zoom-out tool , and click the page.
B. Select the zoom-out tool, and drag to draw a marquee the size you want the reduced page to be.
C. Click the Magnification button in the status bar, and choose a magnification level.
Note: When the zoom-in tool is selected, you can press Ctrl (Windows and UNIX) or Option (Mac OS) while clicking or
dragging to zoom out instead of in. When the zoom-out tool is selected, press Ctrl or Option to zoom in.
To change the magnification level using a thumbnail:
Position the pointer over the lower right corner of the red page-view box in the thumbnail until the pointer changes to a
double arrow . Then drag the corner of the box to reduce or expand the view of the page.
To resize a page to fit the window:
Do one of the following:
A. To resize the page to fit entirely in the window, click the Fit in Window button,or choose View > Fit in Window.
B. To resize the page to fit the width of the window, click the Fit Width button, or choose View > Fit Width.
Part of the page may be out of view.
C. To resize the page so that its text and graphics fit the width of the window, choose View > Fit Visible.
Part of the page may be out of view.
To return a page to its actual size:
Click the Actual Size button, or choose View > Actual Size. The actual size for a PDF page is typically 100%, but the
document creator may have set it to another magnification level.
