Getting Around Inside Acrobat / Setting the Page Display
Subtitles of the Movie
Alright. Now, here's a few extras in terms of navigating and getting around inside your files here. First of all, I'm going to zoom in on my page here using Command Plus or Control Plus on the Windows side. In fact, I'm going to zoom in quite a ways here and one thing that I should mention is personally, myself, if I want to move around inside my page when I'm zoomed in, very, very rarely do I actually use the scrollbars on the bottom there or the vertical scrollbar way over on the right-hand side there. Instead what I do is I make sure that my Hand Tool is turned On and he is usually turned On for me anyway and what I do is I just drag on the page and this literally let's me pan around inside my document, something like this. If it's not working for you, try zooming in a little bit or if it's working too well for you, you may want to zoom out just a little bit so you can actually read your text, read your paragraphs and so on. So quite often that's what I'm doing. Now, let me show you something else. I'm going to zoom all the way out. I'm going to hit Command 0 here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to try scrolling down just by using my scrollbar here. I just finished saying that I don't use my scrollbars very often but I want to show you something here. So I'm going to try scrolling down here and what happens is it takes me directly down to the next page. So now I'm on Page 2, Page 3, that sort of thing. I'll scroll all the way up to the top here. In other words, Acrobat's only letting me see one page at a time. Let me show you this in maybe a better fashion here. I'll zoom in just a little bit here. If I start scrolling down, I'm using the scroll wheel on my mouse now, if I get to the bottom of the page here, right there, and I scroll one more time, it jumps. Did you see that? It jumps me to the top of Page 2. In other words, I'm only seeing one page at a time here inside the Acrobat interface. So let me show you what's up. This is called Page Display. I'm going to go to the View Menu here and then down to Page Display and right now I'm set on Single Page. So I can only see that single page, one page at a time. Instead I'm going to choose Single Page Continuous. Now what happens as I scroll is I can see the bottom of Page 1 and the top of Page 2; very much like if I were in a word processor or pretty much any other application on the planet here. So that's the deal there. Sometimes people will get hung up on this. Alright. Now, there's a few other Page Display Options here. I'll go back to View, down to Page Display. I also have Two-Up. What that would give me is like a left and a right page situation, oftentimes called Facing Pages in design circles. Now, with the Two-Up I can only see one spread, if you will, at a time. So what I could do is I could go to View and then down to Page Display and choose Two-Up Continuous and now I can see multiple spreads at a time. Alright. Good stuff. So normally, myself, I leave this guy set on the Single Page Continuous as that's the way that I like to work inside Acrobat.
