User Personalisation of Adobe® Reader
Section Overview
This section covers techniques that the reader can use to amend the look and feel of a PDF document so that it is best suited to them. Please note that many of these functions are only available in Adobe
® Reader; users will not necessarily be able to access the same functions when reading a PDF in a web browser or other PDF reader software.
User Personalisation of Adobe® Reader
- Personalised Font and Background Colours - This section covers how users can change the background and font colours to suit their personal requirements.
- Enlarging the Text Size - This section covers the use of the zoom function to enlarge the text size of a document.
- Document Navigation - This section covers using the Bookmark and Pages views to quickly navigate through a document. It also covers the Find and Search functions which allow users to search the current and other documents for particular information.
- Alternative Views - Adobe® Reader allows users to reflow text, enabling columns to be arranged into continuous text and magnified text to fit into the window without the need for horizontal scrolling, scroll through a document automatically and have specified sections, pages or a whole document read aloud. This section shows users how to make use of these alternative views.
