• The mini-navigator is the row of cards across the bottom of the PDF Portfolio window in Click-Through, Linear,
and Wave layouts. By default, the cards are displayed alphabetically.

layout specified by the author. For information about each type of preview, see
• Files mode shows the file details in a list. You can click a column name to sort by ascending and descending order.

A PDF Portfolio is accessible when it opens in Files mode. This mode provides a better reading experience for people
with disabilities—such as mobility impairments, blindness, and low vision. To open all PDF Portfolios in Files mode,
open the Preferences dialog box by choosing Edit > Preferences (Windows). In Acrobat Pro only, choose Acrobat >
Preferences (Mac OS). Under Categories, select Accessibility, and then select Show Portfolios In Files Mode.
• Edit mode allows you to modify the file information, reorder files, convert files to PDF, reduce file size, and show,
hide, and sort columns. To open Edit mode, click the Edit button.
Scroll through component files
Depending on the layout, you can scroll through component files in various ways. Some layouts include a mini-
navigator, scroll bar, or Next
and Previous
buttons.
Preview modes
You can preview the component files in several different ways. In Preview mode, you can preview images and pages,
play video and SWF files, and view information about a file. You can extract (move) a file to your computer. You can
also open a file in its native application (if installed on your computer). To return to the original view, click the Layout
button.
