Simple question that has never been resolved by me:

Is there a way to 'grab' a page and move it around, similat to the 'hand' tool in PS?

(I find navigating pages in a PDF to be difficult using the scroll bars - it would be much easier (for me) to just take hold of the document to move it, like you can in PS.)

hit ctrl+L to enter full screen mode. Your pointer is a hand to grab and move by default 🙂

Use Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

I am now using Adobe reader, and see how much better it is than what I used before.

One thing I can't figure out is how to hide the 'tools' panel - it's there whenever a new file is loaded.

Is there a way to save this setting?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that.

You may use the hand tool present in Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC application to pan around the document. as shown below:

To show/hide it you can right click on the toolbar, choose "Select & Zoom" and select "Hand Tool" to make it visible on the toolbar.

Hope this information will help

Thanks, but I forgot to mention, this is open in Preview, as I use a mac.

Don't see this option.
