Starting PDF Document Viewer and Opening a Document

You have a number of options for starting the PDF Document Viewer application. The global command
y+B7B8B9 can be entered from anywhere. Alternatively, if you're on the main menu you can scroll to PDF
Document Viewer and select it or enter hotkey "p".
Notes:

When opening the PDF Document Viewer for the first time you will be presented with a file and folder
list where you can search for and open a PDF document.

If a PDF document has already been opened, starting the application will take you directly to that
document.

Opening a PDF document from within the File Manager will start the PDF Document Viewer
application automatically.

Although VarioUltra can open most PDF files, including ones that are password protected, there may
be instances where a PDF does not work. A common reason for this is where a PDF file has been
created as an image-only PDF, with no underlying text from which to read.
If you are in an open PDF document and wish to open another, you need to access File > Open within the
command menu, which you access by tapping S3. In the file and folder dialog that appears, search for and
select the desired PDF document. Files with extensions other than PDF will not be shown. When opening this
new PDF document, your previously opened PDF document will be closed automatically.

Opening a Password Protected PDF File

When you attempt to open a password-protected PDF file, VarioUltra will prompt you to enter a password.
Enter the password and tap B9 to open the file.
5.3

Reading a Document with Columns

If the document you are attempting to read contains columns, it's possible that the reading order will be
presented incorrectly. If this happens, the solution is as follows:
1. Enter the Command Menu by pressing system key S3, and select menu item Tools > Settings.
2. Select the Reading Order option and set it to "newspaper".
With this setting, the PDF Document Viewer will analyze the text structure and attempt to present it in the
correct order. While it works in most cases, there are always exceptions to the rule because of how the PDF
document was originally created. The default option is to always open new documents with the default setting,
since this works for the vast majority of documents.

Navigation Commands in a PDF Document

The commands for reading in a PDF file are similar to those used in the word processor. A virtual cursor
follows the reading position and is represented on the braille display as flashing dot 8. You can move the
cursor forwards or backwards through the text by character, word, sentence, line, paragraph, or page. While it
is possible to achieve these movements through the Commands Menu item "Go To", the quickest and most
efficient approach is to enter a shortcut command. In some cases there is more than one option, such as using
the display keys (D), or Navistick button.
Cursor Movement Shortcut List:

Next Character: command B9+B4, or Navistick right

Previous Character: command B9+B1, or Navistick left

