Previewing Full PDF's Online

Modified on Thu, 30 Jul at 4:13 AM

PDF documents can be previewed in their entirety online, without downloading them first, using either the Reader or the Info Preview page.

Previewing PDFs with the Reader

PDF documents can be previewed in their entirety online by clicking Reader in the resource Dropdown Action Menu, or the Reader icon on the List view, as pictured below.

Instead of downloading a document to view, a user can read PDF documents online, navigate through pages, and annotate (if enabled). You can read more about the Reader here.

Previewing PDFs via the Info Preview Page

Users can also preview or skim a PDF document via the Info Preview page. From here, they can navigate through pages using the arrows at the bottom of the preview display.

Note: If a user has Preview permission on a folder where PDFs are located, they'll be able to preview the document online but not download it. This is useful if you're concerned about information circulating outside your platform. PDFs can also be watermarked automatically upon download - for more on watermarking, see this article.
