Pan / Scroll |
Panning and scrolling allows you to view another part of a page that is outside of the viewing area, for example, when viewing a document that has been zoomed in on, or when a page of a document is longer than the size of the screen. |
Touch and drag a document page to move it around in the document viewing area. |
Zoom |
Zooming allows you to make an area of a document larger or smaller. Zooming in allows you to see greater detail of a document. Zooming out allows you to see a larger area of a document. |
To zoom out, touch two fingers to the screen and move them toward each other in a pinching motion. To zoom in, touch two fingers to the screen and move them apart from each other. |
