• The Marquee Zoom tool works in a few different ways. You can use it to drag a rectangle around a portion of the

page that you want to fill the viewing area. Or, simply clicking the Marquee Zoom tool increases the magnification
by one preset level, centering on the point where you clicked. To decrease the magnification by one preset level, Ctrl-
click the Marquee Zoom tool.

• The Continuous Zoom or Dynamic tool zooms in when you drag it up the page and it zooms out when you drag

down. If you use a mouse wheel, this tool zooms in when you roll forward and zooms out when you roll backward.

• Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons change the document magnification by preset levels.

• The Zoom Value option changes the page view according to a percentage you type in or select from a pop-up menu.

• Actual Size displays the page at 100% magnification.

• Fit Width adjusts the magnification so that the PDF fills the document pane horizontally.

• Zoom To Page Level adjusts the magnification so that one page fills the document pane vertically.

• The Pan & Zoom tool adjusts the magnification and position of the view area to match the area in an adjustable

rectangle in the Pan & Zoom window’s thumbnail view of the page.

• The Loupe Tool window displays a magnified portion of the PDF that matches the area in an adjustable rectangle

on the document pane.

Resize a page to fit the window

the page may be out of view.

To see keyboard shortcuts for resizing the document, open the View > Zoom menu.
