5.1 Viewing Documents

Documents can be opened in the viewer from a Search Results Table. To open a document in the viewer from a search results table, do the following:

  1. From a search results table, click the document icon in the MIME Type column next to the item you want to open. A separate page opens to display the document in the viewer.

Alternately, you can use Open from either the Search Results Toolbar or the Search Results Contextual Menu. To open a document in the viewer using the toolbar, do the following:

  1. From a search results table, select the document you want to open in the viewer.

  2. Click Open in the toolbar. A separate page opens to display the document in the viewer.

To open a document in the viewer using the contextual menu, do the following:

  1. From a search results table, right-click on the document you want to open in the viewer. A contextual menu is displayed with the options also available from the toolbar.

  2. Select Open from the contextual menu options. A separate page opens to display the document in the viewer.

5.1.1 Switching Between Basic and Advanced Viewer Mode

You can easily switch between viewer modes from within the viewer. For example, if your default is set to open a document in basic viewer mode but you need to add or edit an annotation and have rights to do so, you would want to switch to the advanced mode. Or, if you are in the advanced viewer mode and you want to see how annotations will display for someone using the basic viewer mode, you would switch to the basic viewer mode.

To switch between viewer modes from within the viewer, do the following:

  1. If in the Basic viewer mode, select View then Use Advanced Viewer. The document is displayed in the advanced mode and the Advanced Viewer Toolbar Options are enabled. If in the Advanced viewer mode, select View then Use Basic Viewer. The document is displayed in the basic mode and the Advanced Viewer Toolbar Options are disabled.

5.1.2 Rotating Documents

If a document has been uploaded in an incorrect orientation, or if you otherwise need to rotate the document orientation in the viewer, you can rotate a document by 90 degree increments either clockwise or counterclockwise.

If you rotate a document in the basic viewer mode, it does not stay rotated after you close it. The next time you open the document in either the basic or advanced viewer modes, you would need to rotate it again. Rotating a document in the advanced viewer mode maintains the new orientation provided that:

  • you have at least Annotate Standard security rights to the document

  • you save the changes to the document after rotating it.

Once rotated in the advanced viewer mode and the changes are saved, the document stays in the new orientation for you and all other users in both the basic and advanced viewer modes.

To rotate a document in the viewer, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Rotate Counter Clockwise icon or Rotate Clockwise icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The document is rotated 90 degrees in the requested direction.

5.1.3 Zooming Document Views

You can increase or decrease the size at which a document is displayed in several ways. The original size or resolution of the document in I/PM is not changed. Only the size at which the document is displayed is changed.

5.1.3.1 Zooming Incrementally

To incrementally change the displayed size of a document, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Zoom In icon on the Viewer Toolbar to increase the size, or click the Zoom Out icon to decrease the size. When the document is zoomed to the maximum or minimum size, the Zoom icon is disabled.

5.1.3.2 Fitting Document View to Viewer Size

You can quickly zoom a document to maximize the full width of the document, the full height of the document, or the full page of the document in the viewer.

To maximize the full width of a document, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Fit Width icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The document changes to the largest size possible while still seeing the full width of the document. Note that if the document is oriented so that it is taller than it is wide, the bottom part of the document is initially off of the page. You can scroll down the document to see the bottom part of the page.

To maximize the full height of a document, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Fit Height icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The document changes to the largest size possible while still seeing the full height of the document. Note that if the document is oriented so that it is wider than it is tall, one side of the document is off of the page. You can scroll the document to see the part off the page.

To maximize the document so that all of it is visible, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Best Fit icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The document changes to the largest size possible while still seeing both the full height and full width of the document.

5.1.3.3 Zooming Selection to Viewer Size

To quickly fill the viewer area with a small section of a document without having to zoom incrementally, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Start Rubberband Zoom Mode icon on Viewer Toolbar.

  2. Click and drag the cursor over the area of the document you want to enlarge. A marquee is drawn to help with the selection. When a document has reached its maximum size, it will no longer be enlarged. Attempts to zoom further using the rubberband zoom will stay at the maximum size, but center the display on the selected area.

  3. Release the mouse button to snap the selected area to the size of the viewer.

5.1.4 Navigating Multi-Page Documents

When viewing a multi-page document, you can navigate the document incrementally a page at a time, skip to the first or last page of a document, or select the page number of the document you want to view.

To navigate a document incrementally page by page, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Go Forward One Page icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The next page of the document is displayed.

  2. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Go Back One Page icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The previous page of the document is displayed.

To quickly navigate to the first and last page of a document, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Go To Last Page icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The last page of the document is displayed.

  2. With the document displayed in the viewer, click the Go To First Page icon on the Viewer Toolbar. The first page of the document is displayed.

To quickly navigate to a specific page of a document, do the following:

  1. With the document displayed in the viewer, select Go to page from the Go To Page Number menu on the Viewer Toolbar. A dialog box is displayed where you enter the number of page you want displayed.

  2. Enter the page number you want displayed. The selected page of the document is displayed. If the page entered is not valid, an error is displayed.

Alternately, you may select a page number directly from the Go To Page Number menu on the Viewer Toolbar. Ten pages before and after the currently displayed page are available for selection.
