Viewing other parts of a page
Use the Hand tool to move around the page. 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.
The Pages display in the Navigation panel can be used to move around
the page, as shown on page 5. A red box in the thumbnail shows which
part of the page is being displayed. Drag corners of this box to change
the part of the page that is visible in the Document Panel.
Reading Comments
Comments already existing in PDF files you open in PDF Reader can be
viewed and these are summarized in the Comments panel at the bottom
of the screen. Supported comment types are notes, text boxes, callouts,
text markups (highlight, cross-out etc.), drawing elements and file or
sound attachments.
Adding Comments
PDF Reader lets you add three types of comments, using the Comments
toolbar:
Highlight the text you next select.
Cross-out the text you next select.
Underline the text you next select.
These added comments also appear in the Comments panel, together
with the date and the name of the comment maker.
To add a comment, click the desired tool in the Comments toolbar or
menu, then use the comment cursor to select the words you want to
mark.
Finding texts in the current PDF
The Find tool in the File toolbar or Find in the Edit menu (Ctrl + F)
opens a dialog box where you can enter one or more words to be found in
the current PDF, starting from the current page and looping through the
document. Choose whether to match case or not, find whole words only
and to include or exclude bookmark and comment texts. Use the Previous
or Next buttons to determine the search direction. If you search multiple
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.
