The Fonts tab lists the fonts, font types, and encoding information used
in the original document. Having this information at hand can be a real
time-saver. Read about fonts in #37, "Choosing and Using Fonts. "
•
Click Initial View to display information that defines how the PDF doc-
ument looks when it is opened. A range of options related to the
document, user interface, and window are available:
•
See the sidebar "Crafting Your Readers' Viewing Experience—Part 1:
Navigation" for information on controlling the visible panes.
•
For information about choosing a magnification option, see
the sidebar "Crafting Your Readers' Viewing Experience—Part 2:
Magnification. "
•
The sidebar "Crafting Your Readers' Viewing Experience—Part 3:
Window Displays" describes when to use different window options.
•
The Custom tab lets you add properties and values that identify the
content in the document according to your own criteria, such as cor-
porate or government keyword or nomenclature structures.
Crafting Your Readers' Viewing Experience—
Part 2: Magnification
Along with choosing the navigation pane that best suits your document's
presentation, don't forget about the page magnification. Choose File >
Properties > Initial View and select an option from the Magnification pop-up
menu. Keep these ideas in mind:
•
As with the page layouts, the reader can control magnification in the
document using the controls on the Page Display toolbar.
•
Choose a zoom option depending on the document's content. Fit Width
is common for text documents, for example—the reader sees the entire
width of the document and can scroll through vertically to see the rest.
•
Use magnifications carefully. A large image is often best presented at full
size, and the reader can zoom in for a closer look.

Viewing Experience—
Part 3: Window
Displays
Match the Window Options
settings to your document:
•
If you are using a full-
page layout, for example,
click the "Resize window
to initial page" option to
show your entire page
with the document
window fitted around it.
This produces the most
professional-looking
layouts.
•
Choose "Center window
on screen" for special
types of content, like
movies where the movie
and window sizes match.
•
Choose "Open in Full
Screen mode" if you are
playing a slide show.
