Use split-window view
You can view a PDF with the document pane divided into two panes (Split command) or four panes (Spreadsheet Split
command).
With Split view, you can scroll, change the magnification level, or turn to a different page in the active pane without
affecting the other pane.
The Spreadsheet Split view is useful if you want to keep column headings and row labels visible while scrolling through
a large spreadsheet or table. In this mode, changing the magnification in one pane changes the magnification in all
panes. Also, scrolling is coordinated between the panes: scrolling a pane horizontally also scrolls the pane above or
below it; scrolling vertically also scrolls the pane to the left or right of that pane.
1 Start creating the type of split view you want:
•
To split the view into two panes, choose Window > Split, or drag the gray box above the vertical scroll bar.
•
To split the view into four panes with synchronized scrolling and zoom levels, choose Window > Spreadsheet Split.
2 Drag the splitter bars up, down, left, or right to resize the panes, as needed.
3 Adjust the zoom level, as needed:
•
In Split view, click a pane to make it active, and change the zoom level for that pane only.
