Zooming

Zooming

Atlantis allows you to view documents in different zooms.

You can change the zoom for the active document either through the View | Zoom command or using the Zoom combo box of the toolbars.

In the Normal zoom (100%) all objects within a document window are displayed with their original size as they will appear on paper.

You can use other zooms with smaller percentage scale (for example, 50% or 30% of the Normal zoom) when you wish to take a look at the document as a whole or at some page as a whole.

Use zooms with greater percentage scale (for example, 120% or 200% of the Normal zoom) when your document contains smaller objects (for example, the text formatted with a smaller font size).

Atlantis also supports 5 special zoom kinds.

Zoom Kind Hot Key Toolbar Button Description
Page Width  Ctrl+Shift+K,P   When this zoom kind is used, Atlantis chooses a percentage scale with which a page of the document completely fits a document window on width.
Text Width  Ctrl+Shift+K,T   Atlantis chooses a percentage scale with which a page of the document (not including Left and Right page margins) completely fits a document window on width.
Whole Page  Ctrl+Shift+K,W   Atlantis chooses a percentage scale with which a page of the document completely fits a document window on width and on height.
Two or more pages might be displayed within a document window.
One Page  Ctrl+Shift+K,1   The same as the Whole Page except one detail: always a single page is displayed.
Two Pages  Ctrl+Shift+K,2   Atlantis chooses a percentage scale with which two whole pages of the document completely fit a document window on width and on height.

 

When the active document is in the Preview Mode, you can visually change the percentage scale with the Magnifying Glass mode.

Tips:

You can press the Ctrl+K,Z keys to quickly select the Zoom combo box of the toolbars.
You can use the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Up Arrow keys to enlarge the current percentage scale by 10%, and the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down Arrow keys to shrink the current percentage scale by 10%.
You can quickly either enlarge or shrink the current percentage scale with your Wheel Mouse.
Simply hold the Ctrl key, and scroll the Wheel of your mouse.
