Using zoom tools

The zoom tools let you adjust the view of your documents. Nitro PDF Professional includes zoom tools in the Basic toolbar, as well as tools in the Status bar (see below) at the bottom of the Nitro PDF Professional window. The tools in the toolbar include:

  • Dynamic Zoom  tool. Lets you zoom in and out with the same tool by clicking dragging the mouse.
  • Zoom In  and Zoom Out  tools. Lets you set the zoom to either zoom in our out when you click your mouse.
  • Loupe  tool. Designed for viewing very large, detailed page. It lets you view the whole page from a distance and then use a small floating window above the page to zoom in and out at a different level.

Tip: If your mouse has a scroll wheel you can use that to zoom in and out on the page. Select the zoom tool from the toolbar, hold down Control, and move the scroll wheel.
