Use the Zoom tool or the Zoom commands to magnify the size of documents.
Zoom in or out
To zoom in, select the Zoom tool and click the area you want to magnify. Each click magnifies the view to the next preset percentage,
centering the display around the point you click. At maximum magnification, the center of the Zoom tool appears blank. To zoom out, hold
down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click the area you want to reduce. Each click reduces the view.
To magnify to the next preset percentage, activate the window you want to view and choose View > Zoom In. To reduce the view to the
previous preset percentage, choose View > Zoom Out.
To set a specific magnification level, type or choose a level in the Zoom Level box in the application bar.
In Mac OS, you can display the zoom percentage in the status bar by hiding the application bar (Window > Application Bar). In Windows, you
cannot hide the application bar.
To zoom in or out, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while using the mouse scroll wheel or sensor.
To magnify by dragging, select the Zoom tool and drag around the area you want to magnify.

your entire document. This feature is especially useful for long documents.
