Internal PDF viewer

Where the Internal PDF viewer is used and how it works

The internal PDF viewer displays reports, payslips and other outputs that SmoothPay produces as PDF documents.

Generally, when you generate an output that uses the internal PDF viewer, it opens automatically and displays the document on screen. You can then review the document and use the available controls above it.

Using the PDF viewer

The controls above the displayed document allow you to:

  • search for text within the document

  • move between pages

  • view the current page number and total number of pages

  • adjust the zoom level

  • download the document as a PDF

  • export the report as a spreadsheet

Searching within a document

To search within the document, click into the Search field and start typing.

The viewer will then display which page number the results relate to.

Moving between pages

Use the page navigation buttons to move through the document.

You can move to:

the first page

the previous page

the next page

the last page

The page indicator shows the page currently being displayed and the total number of pages in the document.

Adjusting the zoom

Use the zoom dropdown to change the size of the document within the viewer.

Increasing the zoom makes the document easier to read, while decreasing it allows more of the page to fit on screen.

Print PDF

Select Print PDF to download a copy of the displayed document as a PDF through your web browser.

Export

Select Export to produce a spreadsheet version of the report.

The spreadsheet may include additional detail that is not displayed in the PDF version, as it is not restricted by page size.

Summary

The internal PDF viewer displays PDF outputs within SmoothPay and usually opens automatically when an output that uses it is produced.

It allows you to:

  • search within the document

  • move between pages

  • adjust the zoom level

  • download the document as a PDF

  • export the report as a spreadsheet
