Change the page view

Nitro Pro 7 has page view modes so you can choose how to display PDF documents according to your personal preference or screen resolution. There are options for control scrolling between document pages, how many pages are shown on the screen at once, and the zoom and rotation of the view. You can also use a full-screen mode.

To change the page display options:

On the Page Controls bar at the bottom-right of the screen, select one of the following options:

  • Single Page: Displays one page at a time, with no portion of the next page displayed

  • Continuous: Displays pages in one long column, for scroll smoothly between pages without sudden transitions

  • Facing Pages: Displays two pages at a time, with facing pages appearing side by side as a spread

  • Continuous Facing: Displays facing pages in two side-by-side vertical columns, with continuous scrolling

  • Full Screen: Hides the application frame for the document to occupy the entire screen. Press Escape to exit full screen view

  • Full Screen Facing: Occupies the entire screen, and displays facing pages in two side-by-side vertical columns. Press Escape to exit full screen view

NOTE: Changes to the page view are only applied to the document being viewed. Other documents must be adjusted separately.

The author of a PDF document can set an initial view in the document properties so that the file opens at a specific zoom level or page view when opened in any PDF reading application.

For more information, see Initial View properties.

NOTE: You can zoom in and out with the Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus keyboard shortcuts. You can also press the Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll wheel to change the zoom.

The left and right arrow keys allow you to scroll through the previous or next page, and the up and down arrow keys allow you to scroll smoothly.
