About view modes<br />

You can change the visibility of the document window using the Mode buttons at the bottom of the toolbox or by<br />

choosing commands from the View > Screen Mode menu. When the toolbox is displayed in a single column, you can<br />

select view modes by clicking the current mode button and selecting a different mode from the menu that appears.<br />

Normal Mode Displays artwork in a standard window with all visible grids and guides showing, non-printing<br />

objects showing, and a white pasteboard.<br />

Preview Mode Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, nonprinting<br />

objects), and the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences.<br />

Bleed Mode Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, nonprinting<br />

objects), the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences, and any printing<br />

elements within the document's bleed area (defined in Document Setup) showing.<br />

Slug Mode Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, nonprinting<br />

objects), the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences, and any printing<br />

elements within the document's slug area (defined in Document Setup) showing.<br />

Presentation Mode Displays artwork as if it were a slideshow presentation, with no menus, panels, or tools<br />

displayed. See “Use Presentation Mode” on page 532.<br />

Using the status bar<br />

The status bar (at the lower left of a document window) shows information about the status of a file and lets you turn<br />

to a different page. Click the status bar menu to do any of the following:<br />

Show the current file in the file system by choosing Reveal In Explorer (Windows®) or Reveal In Finder (Mac OS®).<br />

Show the current file in <strong>Adobe</strong>® Bridge® by choosing Reveal in Bridge.<br />

Show the current file in <strong>Adobe</strong> Mini Bridge by choosing Reveal in Mini Bridge.<br />

In Mac OS, you can display the zoom percentage in the status bar by hiding the application bar (Window ><br />

Application Bar). In Windows, you cannot hide the application bar.<br />

Control panel overview<br />

The Control panel (Window > Control) offers quick access to options, commands, and other panels related to the<br />

current page item or objects you select. By default, the Control panel is docked to the top of the document window;<br />

however, you can dock it to the bottom of the window, convert it to a floating panel, or hide it altogether.<br />

Options displayed in the Control panel vary depending on the type of object you select:<br />

When you select a frame, the Control panel displays options for resizing, repositioning, skewing, and rotating the<br />

frame, or applying an object style.<br />
