How do I read PDFs, books and images?
Drag the file from Finder into the Terra window. Terra adds it to your library and opens it.
- Drag a PDF, EPUB or image from Finder into the Terra window. It goes to Inbox, or to a folder if you drop it on one in the sidebar.
- A single file opens right away. For several, click Show on the notice to see them.
- In a PDF, use Previous page, Next page, Zoom in, Zoom out and Page display in the reader's toolbar.
- To highlight, click Highlight text and drag across the words. Drag across the same words again to remove it.
- To draw on a page, click Markup. Right-click it to pick a different pen.
- In a book, pick a chapter from the table of contents beside the text.
Shortcut: none
Other ways
- PDFs and images you copy into your library folder in Finder are added the next time the library opens.
Good to know
- PDF highlights are saved into the PDF itself and quoted under Highlights in its note. Click Show note to see the note beside the page.
- Books and images can't be highlighted.
- To open PDFs or images in another app instead, go to Settings › Open With and change PDFs or Images.
