Making your PDF look great
Page Navigation
When embedding PDF files with multiple pages, there are two navigation options you can choose from.
- Slider shows an entire page on screen and transition between them in a presentation mode using the arrow buttons.
- Scroller enables the more traditional vertical navigation, which can be more comfortable for text-heavy documents.
Sizing
takes care of sizing automatically to show an entire page of the document.
Adjusting the width
To change the width natively, simply click on the embedded board in the Confluence page, then choose between centered, wide, and full width in the visual menu.
The content of the pdf file will fit the set width.
Adjusting the height
By default, the height is responsive to the width of the document. Please note that documents with portrait formatting may take more space than the available screen height!
However, you can also set the height of the embedded pdf informing how many pages you would like to show (option available just in Scroller View Mode).
Doing this will scale the height proportionally so that you can always see the entire number of pages that you selected.
These actions are only possible while editing the Confluence page.
