Choosing a document window size


    You can choose a size for the document window to use as a guide when you're designing your page layout. You can choose a size for the document window in the Layout Editor or the View as PDF Editor. For example, although many monitors have a visible display area greater than 640 pixels, you may want to set the size of your page layout to 580 pixels or less to accommodate viewers with 14-inch monitors, or viewers that don't like the browser to fill the entire screen.

    The document window size is only a tool for designing the page layout--the size you choose does not affect the size of the browser window that displays the page.

To choose a size for document windows:

    Do one of the following:

    • For the open document window, choose a size from the pop-up menu in the lower right corner of the document window.
    • To set a default size for all document windows, first set the open document window to the size you want all document windows to be by default, and then choose Settings from the pop-up menu in the lower right corner of the document window. Select Markup Document Windows, and click OK.
    • To add a size to the pop-up menu in the lower right corner of the document window, choose Options from the pop-up menu and click the Create New Window Configuration button. Enter a width, height, and annotation in the text boxes in the Window Size Configuration dialog box, and then click OK. To remove a size from the pop-up menu, select it in the Window Size Configuration dialog box, click the Remove Selected Window Configurations button, and then click OK.
