Using the Status bar

The Status bar includes a broad set of paging controls for navigating and viewing pages.

  • Page dimensions. Shows the height and width of a page and can be displayed in inches, millimeters and points.
  • Page display mode. Has three modes. Single-page  treats the document as though it were a series of pages that you move through. The other modes -- Continuous  and Continuous Facing  -- work more like the document is one large page that you scroll through, like a web page.
  • Paging controls. Has four paging tools, and displays which page in the document you are currently viewing. First Page  returns to the start of the document. Previous Page  moves back one page. Next page  moves forward one page. Last page  goes to the end of the document. Typing a page number in to the field will go directly to the page.
  • Zoom controls. Includes Zoom In  and Zoom Out  buttons to zoom one level at a time. Alternatively, go directly to a zoom level by entering it in the box or selecting from the dropdown list. The zoom level can be set at anywhere between 12.5% and 1600%.
  • Fixed page views. Has three commonly used pages views. Actual Size  displays the page at its real size, or 100% zoom level. Fit Width  makes the width of page fill the width of the Document panel. Fit Page  makes the whole page fit within the Document panel view, forcing both the page width and height within the area.
