"I am SO using that when I get back to my office."
"I wish I knew that last month–it would have saved me dozens of hours of painstaking work."
I love hearing these types of comments from students. Acrobat is loaded with great features that are super useful, but maybe not so obvious. This week's tip is one of those not-so-obvious features.
When zooming in and out of a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, the visual transitions from view to view are jerky. Perfectly normal, perfectly fine, since that's the way PDF files and Acrobat work, right? Yes, but there is a way to have Acrobat or Reader make the visual transition smoothly.
Choose Edit > Preferences and go to the Page Display option on the left. In the Page Content and Information section, select Use smooth zooming and then click OK.
When changing magnification now, you see an animated, smooth glide from view to view. Useful? Maybe not. Cool? Yes! (Macintosh users, this is another of those gems that exists in the Windows version only. Not to despair, your operating system is so slick, you probably aren't as starved for these visual tricks as the Windows folks anyway!)
