Viewing documents
This section describes how you can adjust your view of a document.
Viewing options in Canvas let you
control when Canvas redraws objects
scroll to any area with the Hand tool or scroll bars
increase or decrease the view magnification
restore any view magnification and location
display wireframe and process-color views
Controlling when Canvas refreshes the display
Canvas refreshes the display, which redraws all visible objects, when
you scroll or change magnification. When you work with complex
images, you can interrupt the redraw to save time, then refresh the
display when youre ready.
To interrupt display redraw: Press Command+Period (Mac)
or Esc (Windows) during normal redraw.
To refresh the display: Choose Layout > Display > Refresh.
You can refresh the display after interrupting screen redraw, or when
you want to refresh the display.
Scrolling documents
You can use scroll bars or the Hand tool to move to areas of a docu-
ment that arent displayed in the document window.
Using scroll bars
Document scroll bars represent the full document area. The position
of the scroll box within a scroll bar indicates the current view area.
To scroll using scroll bars, do one of the following:
Click one of the arrows to move in the arrow direction.
Drag the scroll box toward the part of the document you
want to see. For example, drag up to see more of the top.
Click the scroll bar to scroll one screen length toward the
side of the scroll box that you clicked. For example, click to
the right of the scroll box to move one screen to the right.
Using the Hand tool
Using the Hand tool to scroll a document is like sliding a piece of
paper on a desktop.
