A PDF viewer which can be operated from the Numeric Key Pad only.
Download Page - Program Help - Technical Problems
This program requires Acrobat Reader ver.7; 8; or 9 installed at the computer. Get it from here.
The user interface in this program is an Acrobat Reader window where all menus, toolbars, etc. have been removed. Only the text field left!
To navigate the viewer only the numeric keypad is required which in some situations is desirable.
E.g. the gigging musician who use a computer screen to display sheet music will feel comfortable using only a numeric keyboard to operate this.
The keys at the normal keyboard ( figures 0-9; / * + - ) can be used for navigation as well.
The view can be modified in several ways:
 Tyros 2 and a (hidden) computer with screen and a numeric key pad attached. | |  Fit to screen |
| |  Two page view |
A complete list of commands: "Go to Page"; "Go to Previous Page"; "Go to Next Page"; "Zoom"; "Fit to screen horisontally"
and many more commands are supplied in the help file in the program. Or get the help file here.
The viewer is able to show pdf files selected from a File List Window or from an internal list of pdf files.
From a File List
Opening files from a File List is just like selecting files in a computer file system; e.g. Windows Explorer.
(File List Window - Fully operated from the numeric keypad.)
From a Book List
When opening a file from a Book List you type a number which corresponds to a pdf file in the internal list of the pdf files.
The Book Editor is used for adding and deleting pdf files to this internal list.
The Book Editor is called from the viewer; but notice that the Book Editor can not be operated using the numeric key pad only.
E.g. the gigging musician will have to prepare the book list when he prepares his performance.
While performing he can call a pdf sheet from the Book List - OR pick a file from the File List window - to display his sheet music!
