View Settings and Navigation Tools

The PDF Editor offers several tools to help you view and navigate your PDF: zoom, navigate headings, set the interface theme, etc.

Adjust the view settings

To adjust default view settings and set the most convenient mode to work with the PDF, go to the View tab and select which interface elements you want to be hidden or shown. You can select the following options on the View tab:

• Headings – to show the PDF headers in the left panel.
• Zoom – to set the required zoom value from 50% to 500% from the drop-down list. The same option can be found on the Home tab as well.
• Fit to Page - to fit the whole PDF page to the visible part of the working area.
• Fit to Width - to fit the PDF page width to the visible part of the working area.
• Interface Theme – choose one of the available interface themes from the drop-down menu: Same as system, Light, Classic Light, Dark, Contrast Dark. When the Dark or Contrast Dark theme is enabled, the Dark Document switcher becomes active; use it to set the working area to white or dark gray.
• Always Show Toolbar – when this option is disabled, the top toolbar that contains commands will be hidden while tab names remain visible.

  Alternatively, you can just double-click any tab to hide the top toolbar or display it again.

• Status Bar – when this option is disabled, the bottommost bar where the Zoom, Fit to page, Fit to width buttons are situated will be hidden. To show the hidden Status Bar, enable this option.
• Left Panel - when disabled, hides the left panel where Search, Comments, etc. buttons are located. To show the left panel, check this box.

When the Comments or Chat panel is opened, the width of the left sidebar is adjusted by simple drag-and-drop: move the mouse cursor over the left sidebar border so that it turns into the bidirectional arrow and drag the border to the right to extend the width of the sidebar. To restore its original width, move the border to the left.
