Adobe Acrobat 7 TIPS and TRICKS THE 100150 BEST [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

TIP 5: See What You Want to See

Acrobat offers the same sort of Zoom In and Zoom Out tool functionality as that in other Adobe products that you have grown to know and love; you can switch from one tool to the other by pressing the Control (Command) key with either the Zoom In or Zoom Out tools active.

Acrobat 7 offers more than that. You can use the Dynamic Zoom or Pan & Zoom feature (which works much like the Navigator feature in other Adobe programs), or you can use the Loupe tool to zero in on important information on a page.

Click the pull-down arrow to the right of the Zoom tool displayed on the Zoom toolbar to open the menu shown in Figure 5a. Select the tool you want to use for viewing the document. The selected tool is displayed on the Zoom toolbar.

Tip

The Zoom tools are also available on the shortcut menu. Right-click or Control-click the document with the Hand tool to open the shortcut menu. Choose Zoom and select a tool.

Use the Dynamic Zoom tool to quickly move the magnification higher and lower without having to use any keys or choose alternate zoom tools.

Use the Loupe tool to zero in on a specific region of the document without losing sight of the overall image or page. Click the document with the Loupe tool to activate a small window; this window shows the area identified by the rectangle on the Document pane (Figure 5b). You can drag the edges of the rectangle to change the content and magnification of the display; you can also click the + and - buttons or drag the slider below the magnified image shown in the Loupe tool's window.

For a quick scan of a document's contents close up, click the Pan & Zoom Window option on the Zoom tool's pull-down menu. A small secondary window displays over the main program window (Figure 5c). Drag the Pan & Zoom box around the page to show you sections close up. Use the + and - buttons to change the magnification, type a value in the field, or drag the handles on the rectangle overlaying the image that identifies the area displayed in the Document pane. Use Pan & Zoom when you want to check several items in a multipage document; click the navigation control arrows below the thumbnail image to move forward and backward through your document.
