Managing Sections with the Thumbnail View
You can view miniature versions (thumbnails) of all the pages in a document.

document.

Thumbnails.

Inspector’s Document pane.

page appears in the main viewing area and the page’s thumbnail is highlighted to
indicate your place in the document.
You can also navigate to a page in a document by clicking the Page button in the lower
left of the document window, typing the specific page number in the Go to Page field,
and then pressing Return.
