Define its behavior on mouse click in Edit / Preferences / General / Miscellaneous. By default the action is nothing, but it can jump to the next page or start scrolling the display downwards.

words, the program finds only occurrences where those words appear one after the other in the given order. A found string is highlighted. The tools Find and Search are not available for Image PDF files. Searching texts in multiple PDF files The Search tool in the File toolbar or Search in the Edit menu (Shift + Ctrl+F) opens a dialog box where you can enter a search string with the options described above.
Working with PDF files Here is a selection of other actions you can perform: View PDF properties: Choose Document Properties in the Document menu (Ctrl+D) to see the properties of the current document under the tabs Description, Security and Fonts. The first tab shows which keywords and other descriptions are added to the PDF – these can help you find the PDF later. If you cannot perform certain actions on the PDF (printing, copying, form filling etc) the security settings may explain the reason.
Filling PDF forms Some PDF files include fillable forms, based on XFA or other formhandling standards. If you receive such a form, and form filling is permitted by the file’s security settings, you can fill the form in PDF Reader 6 and then return it via e-mail. To fill the form choose the Hand tool then click in the fields one after the other to enter text or make choices. You can also use the Tab or arrow keys to move between controls.
Use Edit / Preferences / Forms to decide how forms will be displayed and function. Choose to have field values automatically calculated whenever the form contains numerical controls with calculations defined. Choose whether the focused form control should have a border or not and choose colors for the field highlighting – required fields can be given a different color. An auto-complete function can be defined to speed up repeated form filling.
Both displays let you move to sub-folders and view the files there. The current path is displayed under the portfolio bar, top-left. Use it to navigate between folder levels. Non-PDF files are displayed as icons; double click the icon and choose the Open button to display the file in the application associated with the file type. Click the Save button to save non-PDF files to your local file system, outside the portfolio.
