In a world dominated by technology, distractions are all too commonplace. This is why we recently implemented “Read Mode”, which allows you to view your PDF in full screen while hiding any UI elements of both PDF Extra and your operating system for complete immersion. You can enable "Read Mode" from various places within the app or by simply pressing the “Ctrl + H” key combination. You can also easily access it from the “Home” screen by going to “More” → “Tools” → “Read Mode”.
To encourage a more focused workflow, we added some of the features that you’ll likely use the most while reading, which you can access without exiting “Read Mode”.
You will find these features in the toolbar on the bottom left portion of your screen. Here is a brief rundown of all available options, starting from left to right:
“X” mark: lets you exit Read Mode (you can also press the “Escape” key). Highlight Text: highlight words and phrases in your chosen color. Free Draw: make quick sketches anywhere in your file. Page View: zoom in and out of pages and switch between different page modes. Find: Locate any content within your PDF file by clicking on the icon or pressing “Ctrl +F”. Note that scanned files and images will only become searchable once you apply OCR. Navigation controls: go a page back, a page forward, or jump right to the first or last page of your file. You can also go to a specific page by double-clicking the counter in the middle and typing your desired page number. Zoom controls: zoom in or out by 10% increments or input a custom value by double-clicking the percentile figure in the middle. Collapse: hide the toolbar from view for the ultimate distraction-free workflow.
