Using PDF Tools When Viewing Tax Maps

Help Topic 2171

When viewing PDF-formatted documents, especially PDFs of images such as Tax Maps, the toolbar can help you navigate and re-size the image more easily. Hold your cursor over the individual tools on the toolbar to view their functions.

Hand Tool: To move the map up and down or left and right if the image is larger than the window, select the Hand Tool.

Zoom In: To magnify or increase the size of the image or zoom in on a particular area:

• Select the zoom-in tool (a magnifying glass with a "+" inside it) and click the page.
• To zoom in on a certain section, select this tool and use it to draw a rectangle around the area you wish to zoom in on.

(The magnification value box in the viewing toolbar displays the percentage of the image magnification. To change this value, click on the triangle next to the box then select a value from the drop-down list. You can also click on the Zoom In ("+") tool to the right of the triangle to magnify the image.)

Zoom Out: To shrink or decrease the magnification of the image:

• Select the zoom-out tool (a magnifying glass with a "-" inside it) and click the page.
• To reduce the page to a particular size, select the zoon-out tool and use it to draw a rectangle the size you want.

(The magnification value box in the viewing toolbar displays the percentage of the magnification of the image.

Fit Page: Click on the Fit Page tool to resize the image so that the entire image fits on the page.

Fit Width: Click on the Fit Width tool to resize the image so that image fits the width of the page.

Printing PDFs: When viewing PDFs using Reader 6.0 or higher, you can print "All" of the image or just your "Current View" of the PDF.

• If you have zoomed in on a particular part of the image and only want to print that, select “Current View.”
• You can then select the "Page Scaling." "Fit to Printer Margins" gives you the largest print out of the image.
• Click "OK" when finished to print.
