Opening and interacting with a document in
PDF View
When you open a document in Desktop, it displays as a PDF by default. This
view of the document is called PDF View in Desktop. PDF View displays the
document as it will look when printed (for example, with page breaks). Use
PDF View in Desktop to:
• View the document as a PDF
• Interactively display groups on separate pages (using page-by)
• Navigate through large quantities of data that have been grouped into
separate pages of the document
• View associated websites by clicking hyperlinks
• Print the document
• Save the final PDF (by exporting it)
• Export the document to Excel, PDF, Flash, or HTML
The steps below provide information on how to open and view a document,
how to navigate through the document’s data, and how to interact with
several optional features that the document may include.
Prerequisites
• To view a document as a PDF, your computer must have Adobe Acrobat
Reader version 5 or greater. This software can be obtained free of charge
from the Adobe website, at www.Adobe.com.
• To open a document in PDF View, you must connect to the project in
three-tier (server) mode.
