Help on using the adobe® SVG viewer for Windows
- navigating
- panning: hold the alt key and click-and-drag with the mouse to pan an SVG
image.
- Zooming: hold the control key and click to zoom in at the mouse pointer
location. hold the control key and click-and-drag to select a region to
zoom into. hold the shift key too, to zoom out. you can also use the zoom
commands in the context menu.
- Using the contextual pop-up menu
(right-click in the SVG image area to open the contextual pop-up menu.
this will reveal
the commands and options for interacting with the SVG image.)
- links: If you bring up the context menu over a link, you can choose
"open" or "open in new window" to activate the link.
- quality: you can disable the "higher quality"-option to cause the SVG
image to display more quickly, but with lower quality.
- animations: use the "pause"-command to pause an animated SVG image.
the "pause"-command changes to the "play"-command when the animation
is paused. you can use the "mute"-command to disable any sounds embedded
in the SVG image.
- searching: click "find" to open the find dialog box. here you may enter
the text you want to search for, make choices about matching whole words only,
case, and the direction of the search. the find command works with transparent,
obscured, or moving text. the entire document is searched, regardless of how
much of the SVG is currently visible. the result of the search is highlighted, and
panned (but not zoomed) into view.
- copying: the "copy SVG" and "save SVG as"-commands let you copy
the SVG image to the clipboard and save the image to a local file. the "copy SVG"
-command places the SVG as it currently appears onto the clipboard in both unicode and
raster formats. note that this differs from the "save SVG as"-command,
which makes a copy of the original SVG file. when text is selected, the
"copy SVG"-command changes to "copy selected text".
[to copy selected text, rightclick outside the blue area]
