Interface / Navigating with Thumbnails

Subtitles of the Movie

Now that we're all are experts at navigating a document by using some of these buttons up here, I want to show you another technique, navigating through an Acrobat document using thumbnails. If you are not seeing the thumbnail pane open click on the tab on the left side of the window here. It brings up a list of thumbnails and these are small graphic pictures of representing each page. I can go to any page of my document simply by double clicking on a thumbnail; so currently I am on page 1. All I need to do is double click on this, click right here and I am going to page 3. Notice when I have this thumbnail selected, there is a marquee around the section of document. This marquee in a sense is describing what I am seeing in the page pane right here; and I can click on the edge of the marquee and move it up or down and notice how the page is being refreshed to show me exactly what's inside the marquee on the thumbnail. And the reason it's only showing me this portion, notice it's going from edge to edge but not the top and bottom, is because my current way I am looking at this is fit width. If I choose another viewing option such as fit page notice how the marquee now encompasses my entire thumbnail. Also notice on this small marquee here that there is a corner handle bar that I can Passover with my cursor notice and that I, the cursor changes to this double headed diagonal arrow and if I click and drag in to shrink the marquee, notice how the window, the page window updates to show me the section that is exactly inside the marquee. So in this way I can zoom in to a section by resizing the small marquee on my thumbnail document. So again if you want to go to a page using the thumbnail, all you need to do is double click on that and you will go right to that page. is double click on that and you will go right to that page.
