Getting around with the Adobe Acrobat Viewer

Topics:

• Printing
• Enlarging/Decreasing Text
• Moving around document

Note: When you load a Furness file, it will be viewed within your web browser.  Only now, a tool bar will appear right below the Web Address window.

Printing

• Print only to DR148 (Downstairs Library), DRCIRCUL (Library circulation) desk, or JEM 166 printers.

• Click on either the PRINT icon on the TOOLBAR (left side of the screen) or select PRINT from under the FILE window.
  
• A dialogue box will appear which will identify which printer will receive the job, print quality and print range. In the print range box, specify which page or pages you wish to print. If you wish to print just the displayed page, select Current Page. Please note that page numbers in Furness do not correspond with the page numbers that Adobe viewer uses. When specifying pages to print, use the page numbers that are found on the bottom left side of the screen in the Adobe viewer, NOT the numbers in Furness.
  
• Click OK.
  
• Follow printing progress in the dialogue box on your screen or in the print queue. Printing Adobe .pdf files is very slow. Do not click print again when pages do not spew out immediately.
  
• Printing a single page takes approximately 30 seconds.  However, printing time will be expanded during slow network periods and when printing multiple pages at a time.  When at all possible, print only 1-3 pages at a time.

Please note that clicking on the Print icon of the toolbar that is on the right side of the window, the one that says "Print" under it, often generates a blank page with the title and address printed at the top and bottom of each page.

Enlarging/Decreasing Text

• To increase the text size, click on the magnifying glass box on the bottom left hand side of the screen.  Here you can select to enlarge or decrase the size of the text by simply selecting a percent size change from the pop up (downward pointing arrow) menu. 
  
• You can also type in the desired percent magnification in the pop up menu (i.e. 200, 50, 325).

Moving Around Document

You can move about the Furness document in a number of ways.  For instance, to move through Furness you can:

• Click the up and down arrows on the right hand of the screen.  You can move from page to page with this command.
  
• Select the "hand" icon from the tool bar below the Address window; move the hand cursor over text, click the left button on the mouse and move the mouse in the up or down direction. (This command will only let you move throughout the displayed page.)
  
• Select the "Left triangle" icon from the tool bar to view the previous page in sequential order.  Select the "Right triangle" icon from the icon bar to view the next page in sequential order. 
  
• Select the "Double left triangle" icon from the tool bar to advance to the first page of the document.  Select the "Double right triangle" icon to advance to the last page of the document.
