The PDF view

The PDF button at the top, or ⌥⇧⌘3. The pages are laid out by the same engine as the PDF file: what you see is what will be printed.

Nothing is edited there: a key typed on the page reminds you to write in the Editing or Web view. You can select and copy text there, and add a comment.

Check before sending

  • A4 portrait (or the document’s size) opens the page setup: margins, size, orientation.
  • Compare with the PDF shows the real PDF file next to the pages, at the same scale.
  • Adjust printing tells you where to fix what is not right: page setup, the Editing view, headers.
  • If a font was replaced or an image is missing, a discreet warning appears in the same bar.
