Navigating

This section describes how you can navigate through a document in Okular.

There are multiple ways of scrolling the viewing area. One is to use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys. You may also use the scrollbar, your mousewheel or the Page Up and Page Down keys.

Another way is to hold the left mouse button down at any place on the document while dragging the mouse in the opposite direction of where you want to move. This procedure only works if the Browse Tool is enabled, which you can select by choosing Tools->Browse Tool .

The navigation panel on the left side of the screen enables two more ways of navigating through a document:

If you click on a page thumbnail the viewing area will be brought to that page.
If the document has a table of contents, clicking on a table of contents item will bring the document to the page linked to that item.

Some documents have links. In this case you can click on them and the view will change to the page it links to. If the link is to a web page or some other document the default KDE handler for that format will be invoked. For example, clicking on a link pointing to “http://www.kde.org” will open the web page in the default KDE's web browser.

Additionally, you may use the following functionality to quickly move to specific places in the document:

You can go to the first page of the document using Ctrl+Home or using Go->First Page.
You can go to the last page of the document using Ctrl+End or using Go->Last Page.
You can go forward in the document using Space or Page Down. To go to the next page of the document use the Next Page Toolbar button or Go->Next Page in the menubar.
You can go back in the document using Backspace or Page Up. To go to the previous page of the document use Previous Page Toolbar button or Go->Previous Page in the menubar.
