Viewing a PDF document in wireframe view
What is a wireframe view?
You can view a PDF document in either one of the following modes:
• Preview mode. This is how you normally see PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat. You see the
pages, objects and text in the PDF documentas they will print.
• Wireframe view mode
If you look at a PDF document in wireframe view mode, the document will be displayed as follows:
• The objects will appear in outline form.
• Text can be shown in outline, with a black fill, or “greeked”, i.e. it can appear on-screen as a
gray bar, rather than displaying the individual characters. You can select this option in the
Enfocus PitStop Preferences.

When to use wireframe view
You may want to look at a PDF document in wireframe view in order to:
• View and select objects which are (partly) covered by other objects. See also Changing the
stacking order of objects on page 117
• View and edit masks. See also Masking objects on page 140
• Make pages display more quickly if they contain many or large pixel images.
To view a PDF document in preview or wireframe view mode
