Using Thumbnails

Thumbnails are links to individual pages in a document that enable you to locate and display a page from a large document quickly. When you view a document in the Document Viewer, the page thumbnails appear to the left of the document image.

  1. If the thumbnails view is not enabled, select the Show Page Thumbnails option under Document View in the User Settings page.

  2. In an open document, click the Show/Hide Thumbnail icon on the left of the toolbar to hide or view page thumbnails.

  3. In the thumbnail view, click the down-arrow at the upper right to show the thumbnail view toolbar, which is hidden by default.

  4. Select a single page thumbnail, or press:

    • Ctrl and then select multiple page thumbnails.

    • Shift and select a beginning page thumbnail and an ending page thumbnail to select a range.

    • Ctrl +Shift and then select page thumbnails and retain any previously selected page thumbnails.

    The selected page thumbnails include a check mark on the upper left.

    You can then perform these tasks:

    • Drag and drop selected page thumbnails to reorder pages.

    • Cut and paste selected page thumbnails to move pages.

    • Delete selected page thumbnails to delete pages.

    • Email, export, or print only the selected page thumbnails.

    • Change the page thumbnail size by using the slider on the thumbnail view toolbar.

      Note: You cannot cut, paste, or delete page thumbnails in read-only documents or in documents for which you do not have permission. You cannot cut, paste, or drag and drop page thumbnails in a batch thumbnail view.

  5. Optionally, drag an electronic file (or files) from your desktop into the thumbnails view and hover over the page thumbnail before which you want to place the file. Then, drop the file to insert it into the document.
