Edit PDF document display properties

PDF documents can be set to display in particular ways when open in a viewer. For example, if your document contains bookmarks and you want them to be easily accessible, you can set the document to open with the Bookmarks panel already displayed. You can also set your PDF so it's displayed at a particular zoom level, at a particular page, and so on. In Nitro PDF Professional these settings are all controlled in the Properties panel.

• Show. Sets which panel is displayed by default. The Bookmarks panel, Pages panel, or no panel.
• Go to Page. Specifies at which page to open the PDF.
• Layout. Sets the page mode to open with, single-page, continuous-page or Continuous-facing page. Single-page treats the document as though it were a series of pages that you move through. The other modes work more like the document is one large page that you scroll through (like a web page).
• Zoom. Sets the default magnification level. Choose from zoom percentage, or choose from the Fit Page, Fit Width and Fit Height settings.
• Window Caption. Sets what is displayed in the title bar of Nitro PDF Professional. Either the file name or the document title field.
• Hide Menu Bar. Stops the menu (the Menu Bar) from appearing.
• Hide Toolbar. Stops all toolbars from appearing.
• Hide Window Controls. Stops the left panel and status bar from appearing.

To open the Properties panel:

1. Open the left panel by one of the following:
   • Select the Show/Hide Document Panel  toolbar button.
   • Choose View > Navigation Panel > Properties.
   • Use the F6 or F10 shortcut key.
2. At the top of the panel, click the Properties  icon.

To set initial view properties:

1. In the Properties panel, go to the initial view section and set any of the following:
   • Set the panel to be displayed by default.
   • Set the page to open the file at.
   • Set the page layout. Default, single or continuous.
   • Set the default magnification level to display the document at.
   • Set the bars and controls to be on or off.
2. Save the file.
