PDF Frames
View and navigate multi-page PDF documents in Frames.
PDF Frames display PDF documents with page navigation controls. They support all common Frame controls and share most features with Image Frames, plus PDF-specific page navigation.
Page Navigation
PDF Frames include a bottom control bar for navigating between pages:
Arrow Buttons
Click the left and right arrow buttons to move to the previous or next page.
Page Slider
Drag the slider or click to jump to a specific page in the document.
Page Counter
Shows current page and total page count (e.g., "2/4").
Use the page slider to quickly scan through reference documents or design specs.
How PDFs are Displayed
PDF pages are displayed as high-res images within Refbox. The original PDF file is preserved and used anytime you Save As a PDF file from Refbox to your computer.
Shared Features with Image Frames
PDF Frames work almost identically to Image Frames, including:
- All transformation controls: Pan, zoom, opacity, rotation, flip, grayscale
- Free Canvas Mode: Pan and zoom beyond document boundaries
