Use page thumbnails to jump to specific pages
Page thumbnails provide miniature previews of document pages. You can use thumbnails in the Pages panel to
change the display of pages and to go to other pages. The red page-view box in the page thumbnail indicates which
area of the page appears. You can resize this box to change the zoom percentage.
1 Click the Pages button or choose View > Navigation Panels > Pages to display the Pages panel.
2 To jump to another page, click its thumbnail.

vertically adjacent to the document pane.

Sort the components of a PDF package
Because the data categories are shown in columns in View Top mode, use that view to complete this procedure.
1 In the PDF package navigation bar, select the View Top button , if necessary, so that you can see the list of
component PDFs and the categories bar across the top of the list.
2 Do any of the following:
• Click a category name. Click it a second time to reverse the order between Ascending and Descending.
• In the PDF package navigation bar, choose Options > Sort By > [category name].
• Right-click/Control-click a PDF in the list or anywhere in the categories bar and choose Sort By > [category name].
• Right-click/Control-click a PDF in the list or anywhere in the categories bar and choose Package Properties. Then
choose options in the Sort By and Sort Order menus. (This sets the default sorting for the PDF package.)
Note: Unless you change the default sorting for the PDF package, the sorting remains in place for only the current session
or until you change the sorting again. The next time you open the PDF package, it will appear in the default sorting order.
