# Opening pages in a PDF

Depending on the PDF you open, you may need to move forward through multiple pages, see different parts of the page, or change the magnification. There are many ways to navigate, but the following items are commonly used:

Note: If you do not see these items, choose View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars.

Next and Previous

  The Next Page and Previous Page buttons appear on the Page Navigation toolbar. The text box next to them is also interactive, so you can type a page number and press Enter to go directly to that page.

Scroll bars

  Vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear to the right and bottom of the document pane whenever the view does not show the entire document. Click the arrows or drag to view other pages or different areas of the page.

Select & Zoom toolbar

  This toolbar contains buttons and controls for changing the page magnification.

Pages panel

  The Pages button on the left side of the work area opens the navigation pane to the Pages panel, which displays thumbnail images of each page. Click a page thumbnail to open that page in the document pane.
