Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide

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. If

parts of the PDF have an unusual appearance this may be due to some or

all fonts not being embedded in the PDF file. The fonts listing tells you

which fonts are embedded and the coding convention used. That may

help you determine which fonts are present in the document but not

embedded. If you install those fonts on your system, the PDF should

display better.

View bookmarks: Choose Bookmarks under Navigation Panels in the

View menu or toolbar. If the PDF contains bookmarks, these are

displayed. These function like a table of contents in a book; typically each

section with a title has a bookmark. Click a bookmark to jump to the start

of the named section in the document. Choose Options / Collapse… to

reduce the number of bookmarks and Expand to see all the entries.

Print the PDF: Choose the Print tool

from the File toolbar or Print in

the File menu (Ctrl + P). Choose a printer, a page range and other

options. Under Print Content, choose to print the document with

comments (default) using the currently set display method, the document

only or form fields only (see below). To change the display method of

comments, choose Print with Comments from the File menu.

Open attachments: Choose Attachments under Navigation Panels in the

View menu or toolbar. Select an attachment in the list and click the Open

button at the top left of the panel. The application associated with the file

type starts and the file is displayed.

Save attachments: Choose Attachments as described above. Select one

or more attachments and click the Save button at the top left of the panel

and define a saving location. Files are saved with their original file type to

the chosen folder.

Play sound: A PDF file may have an attached or embedded sound file.

Double click its icon to hear the sound using your default media player

using all its current settings. Microsoft Silverlight content is supported.

Play movies: A PDF file may contain attached or embedded movie files.

Click the file icon or other control to play the movie. Use Edit /

Preferences / Movie to set which media player to use and which

accessibility options should be applied whenever available.
