Page Layout

PDF files can be displayed in several different configurations within the workspace.

To set the page layout, select the desired mode from the View menu:

Single Page Mode: Fits individual pages to the current workspace window.

Continuous Mode: Shows all pages in a single column.

  Side-by-Side: Shows two pages side-by-side per window with the even page on the right and the odd page on the left. If Show Cover Page in Side-by-Side is enabled, the first page will be shown alone and the rest will exhibit this behavior.

  Continuous Side-by-Side: Shows all pages in the side-by-side mode in one continuous window. If Show Cover Page in Side-by-Side is enabled, the first page will be shown alone and the rest will exhibit this behavior.

The default zoom of pages are controlled with the page view commands. Select the desired mode from the View menu:

Fit Page: Fits the entire page to the available display area.

Fit Width: Fits the width of the page to the display area.

Actual Size: Displays the page at 100% or the true size of the page.

The Dimmer tones down, or dims, the content layer of a PDF so as to better see annotations. It can be found in the View menu. Go to View > Dimmer > Dim Content or press CTRL+F5 to toggle the dimmer on and off. The effect can be seen in this example:

Set the level of dimming by selecting a percent from the Dimmer menu. The lower the percentage, the less intense the underlying PDF content will appear compared to the annotations.
