Navigating PDF documents can sometimes be difficult when you are just scrolling through endless pages of documents. The Content Inspector shows two views, similar to what you see in Apple's Preview application: Table of Contents and Thumbnails. Table of Contents The Table of Contents view will display the outline of a PDF document, provided that PDF contains one. Click on the disclosure triangle to show or hide sections within chapters. Click on any section heading to jump directly to the beginning of it. Thumbnails The Thumbnails view shows a list of thumbnails, one for each page in the document. This allows for a more visual approach to moving through your document. By default, the thumbnails are shown in a single column but they can be displayed in multiple rows if the sidebar is expanded. This view allows for actions like these: Jump to or select any page by clicking on it. Extend a range of selected pages by holding the ⇧Shift key to select consecutive pages. Hold the ⌃ Control key to select non-consecutive pages. To quickly remove unwanted pages, press the ⌫ Backspace key. If you want to reorder some pages, select the page(s) to move and drag and drop them within the thumbnails. A blue line will appear at the place the pages will be inserted. This will also work if you drag thumbnails from one PDF to another. Drag selected pages to another location in your database and DEVONthink will create a new PDF containing only those pages. You also have several options available in the contextual menu when you Control-click in the Thumbnails view: Cut/Copy: Cut or copy the selected page(s) to be pasted into another PDF. Copy Page Link: Copies a URL to the clipboard pointing directly to the current page of the document. Reverse Page Order: Reverse the page order of the document. Split Document: Split the document at the selected page. This treats the selected page as the first page of the document. Pages before the selected page will be split into a new document and removed from the original document. This item is unavailable when the first page of the document is selected. Also, note this cannot be undone. Insert Blank Page: Insert a new blank page. Delete Selected Page(s): Delete the selected page(s). Rotate Left/Right: Rotate the selected pages left or right. Select/Deselect All: Select or deselect all pages in the document.
