Reading PDFs

Folio's reader is Apple's PDFKit, the same engine as Preview. It's built for reading, not editing: there are no annotation or markup tools, and Folio never changes your PDF.

Page display#

The page display menu in the reader's header, and the View menu, switch between:

• Single Page, Continuous Scroll, and Two Pages
• Book Mode, which shows the first page on its own, like a cover
• Thumbnails (⌥⌘2), a strip of pages beside the document

Rotate Left and Rotate Right turn the view only. The file on disk stays as it was.

Zoom#

The zoom menu in the header offers fit width, fit page, and preset sizes. From the keyboard:

Find and go to#

Edit › Find › Find… (⌘F) searches the document. ⌘G and ⇧⌘G move between matches. Go › Go to Page… (⌥⌘G) jumps to a page number, and ⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓ move one page at a time.

Print#

File › Print… (⌘P) prints the PDF as it is. Question bubbles are never printed.
