Interface / Bookmarks and View Types
Subtitles of the Movie
Yet another way to navigate around a pdf document, a multi-page pdf document like this is to use the bookmarks. I showed you how you can navigate using thumbnails. Well we have another tab available to us on the left hand navigational pane and that's called bookmarks. So click on that to bring up the collection of bookmarks that have been created by the author for this particular document. Now that's a thing that you do in Acrobat creating bookmarks. So each bookmark for this document actually jumps to a particular view or area in my document so if I, these also happen to be chapter headings or chapter names. So I can click on this one and notice when I pass over a bookmark, the name actually pops out over the pdf windowpane. So just click on that and I am going right to this section - 2.1 getting started and you can see it takes me to that section which I predefined earlier. While we're talking about how the document looks, I want to draw your attention to the bottom of the window here and notice that we have three icons for different types of views: this first one is default and it is single page and what that means is - if I go to fit in window notice that when I scroll or clicked scroll button at the area underneath my scroll handlebar or even drag the handlebar down, it will refresh a page at a time. One of my options is continuous, you click on this button - now when I scroll down you can see that what I have is this continuous scroll, if you will. And then the last option is continuous facing as if you had both a scroll and an open book so you can see that it has shrunk each individual page down very small in order to be able to show you two pages side by side. And if we go to the very top you can see that my first page starts on the right. Again these options are available under the view menu single page continuous for continuous facing. And one last feature that you might need to use is the rotate tool and that's this button right here allows you to rotate, 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise depending on which button you will click on. But you get the idea if I click on this button, it just rotates the document. This might be helpful if you had a document, which had some text horizontally and then a section that was rotated that you might want to see. horizontally and then a section that was rotated that you might want to see.
