# Page through a document

There are many ways to turn pages in a PDF. Many people use the buttons on the Page Navigation toolbar, but you can also use arrow keys, scroll bars, and other features to move forward and backward through a multipage PDF.

The Page Navigation toolbar opens by default. The default toolbar contains frequently used tools: the Next Page , Previous Page , and Page Number. Like all toolbars, the Page Navigation toolbar can be hidden and reopened by choosing it on the Toolbars menu under the View menu. You can display additional tools on the Page Navigation toolbar by right-clicking/Control-clicking the toolbar and choosing an individual tool, Show All Tools, or More Tools and then selecting and deselecting tools in the dialog box.

### Move through a PDF

Do one of the following:

- Click the Previous Page or Next Page button on the toolbar.

- Choose View > Go To > [location].

- Choose View > Go To > Page, type the page number in the Go To Page dialog box and then click OK.

- Press the Page Up and Page Down keys on the keyboard.

### Jump to a specific page

Do one of the following:

- Drag the vertical scroll bar until the page appears in the small pop-up display.

- Type the page number to replace the one currently displayed in the Page Navigation toolbar, and press Enter or Return.

  Note: If the document page numbers are different from the actual page position in the PDF file, the page’s position within the file appears in parentheses after the assigned page number in the Page Navigation toolbar. For example, if you assign numbering for a file that is an 18-page chapter to begin with page 223, the number shown when the first page is active is 223 (1 of 18). You can turn off logical page numbers in the Page Display preferences. See Renumber pages and Preferences for viewing PDFs.

### Jump to bookmarked pages

Bookmarks provide a table of contents and usually represent the chapters and sections in a document. Bookmarks appear in the navigation pane.

1. Click the Bookmarks button, or choose View > Navigation Panels > Bookmarks.
2. To jump to a topic, click the bookmark. Click the plus (+) or minus (-) sign to expand or collapse the bookmark contents.
   Note: Depending on how the bookmark was defined, clicking it may not take you to that location but perform some other action instead.

   If the list of bookmarks disappears when you click a bookmark, click the Bookmarks button to display the list again. If you want to hide the Bookmarks button after you click a bookmark, select Hide After Use on the Options menu.

### Use page thumbnails to jump to specific pages

Page thumbnails provide miniature previews of document pages. You can use thumbnails in the Pages panel to change the display of pages and to go to other pages. The red page-view box in the page thumbnail indicates which area of the page appears. You can resize this box to change the zoom percentage.

1. Click the Pages button or choose View > Navigation Panels > Pages to display the Pages panel.
2. To jump to another page, click its thumbnail.
