1. Open WPS PDF and load the PDF file you want to view.
2. Look at the bottom of the window.
3. Check the current page number and total pages on the left, such as “1/1.”
4. Review the page navigation buttons in the middle area, such as previous page and next page.
5. Check the zoom percentage and view mode options on the right.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The full status bar area is visible at the bottom of the window.
• What you can do next: You can continue using page number, navigation, zoom, or view mode controls.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If no PDF file is open, the status bar information may be incomplete.
• Environment note: A very small window may reduce the visible width of the bottom area.

2. Adjust Zoom Percentage

Entry point: The zoom controls on the right side of the status bar

1. Open a PDF file and locate the zoom percentage on the right side of the status bar.
2. Click the zoom percentage value and enter a custom percentage.
3. Click the plus button to zoom in step by step, or click the minus button to zoom out.
4. Drag the zoom slider to reach a suitable display scale more quickly.
5. Check whether the page is easier to read or inspect in detail.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The page display scale changes.
• What you can do next: You can continue reading, moving between pages, or changing view modes.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the zoom percentage is too high, part of the page may move outside the current view.
• Environment note: Zoom changes the display only and does not change print size.

3. Switch View Modes

Entry point: The view mode button on the right side of the status bar

1. Open a PDF file and go to the right side of the status bar.
2. Click the view mode button.
3. Select an available option such as single-page display, two-page display, or continuous scrolling.
4. Check whether the page arrangement changes.
5. Choose the display mode that fits your current reading or editing task.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The page display changes to the selected mode.
• What you can do next: You can continue reading or working with the document in the new view mode.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the new display does not fit your needs, switch to another mode again.
• Permissions or membership: PDF editing requires membership; view switching can be used together with reading or editing tasks.
