Document Exploration
A step-by-step tutorial on how to explore documents in Acrobat
Reader
Page forward and back
Explore the document page by page.
Like turning pages in a real book, these buttons move the reader
forward and back through the PDF document. The exact order of the
documents page are followed by using thes buttons.
Beginning and End of Document
Move instantly to the beginning or end of the document.
These buttons take the reader either to the first or last page of
the document.
Back and Forward by Viewing Order
Move back and forward through pags you have viewed.
The buttons remember the order of the pages you viewed. When the
reader pushes "back", the previously viewed page is shown. Assume the
reader was on page 10 and jumped to page 20. When the reader pushes
"back," page 10 will be shown (no page 19) because page 10 was the
previously viewed page.
