Open its drop-down list and choose one of the following.

 

 Single Page

This display one page in the Document Panel at a time.
 

Continuous

This displays the pages one below the other with a scroll bar to move between them.
 

Facing

This displays two pages side-by-side in the Document Panel.

 

Continuous-Facing

This displays side-by-side page pairs, one below the other. For longer documents, the first page is placed on the right, so that left and right pages all display correctly.

 

Show Cover Page in Facing View

When Facing is selected, and this option is checked, then the first page of the document is displayed alone, but the rest of the pages are displayed in pairs.

 

Important: In Single Page mode, the Edit > Select All command selects all text on the current page. In Continuous, Facing, Continuous-Facing and Document Assembly modes, it selects all text in the whole PDF document.

 

View bar controls

The View bar is located at the base of the program window, and has the following navigation and zoom controls:

The View bar also offers three most useful viewing choices that combine scrolling options with fit options. These tools appear to the right of the zoom controls:

fit page icon

The Fit Page tool displays one page at a time (Single Page) and fits each page into the Document panel, so all its contents remain visible without scrolling. If the Document panel is resized, or you move to a different-sized page, the image is resized accordingly.

fit width icon

The Fit Width tool displays pages one below the other (Continuous) and fits the width off all pages into the Document panel, so contents remain visible without horizontal scrolling. If the Document panel is resized, the image is resized accordingly. The widest page in each document determines the magnification.

 full screen icon

The Full Screen tool displays each page in the full screen area and it typically used for presentations. A small toolbar bottom right lets you move to the next or previous page, or  return from Full Screen viewing (also achieved by pressing Escape or Ctrl+L).

 

 

Document Assembly

When this tool is selected, two further tools appear:
