Hello,

The context-menu that you are showing in your attached document, comes from a right-mouse-click in the Thumbnails-pane and your question is about the "Interactive Highlighted Area" option in that menu.

When the option "Highlight Visible Area" is marked/checked, then, when you zoom in to the page in the main view area of PDF-XChange Editor, that area is shown on the thumbnail of that same page.

Now, when "Highlight Visible Area" is active AND you also activate "Interactive Highlighted Area", you can move the area shown on the thumbnail and the page in the main view area will move with it.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards.

In the Thumbnails panel, you can click and drag the highlighted area to adjust the page view in the main window.

Thank you, Willy and John.

It's too bad the "Help" documentation does not explain that.

Hello, PHK

The help documentation does explain this, it it near the bottom of the page JohnW sent a link to, as well as in the same location on the current V10 manuals: https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe10/in ... ls_ed.html

It's definitely explained briefly in the Help docs although I confess that I had to familiarize myself with the feature in the software so that I could understand what the Help doc was trying to say.

Hello JohnW,

I will ask the people working on those manuals to review that section and consider improving it!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Really? I did a content search in Help and it turned up zip.

Hello, PHK

It's right at the bottom of that page, with the exact name of the items in the menu:
