Use vertical main splitter to resize the preview area to change its width and to see the mobile layout version of the web help.
The web help layout is responsive and is optimized for small screens of mobile and tablet devices as well.

To preview your topic in PDF, click .
Note: only the current topic will be exported to a temporary PDF file, so the page numbers might not be shown correctly.
Export entire project to PDF to view actual page numbers.
 
In HTML and CHM preview modes the floating buttons allow to customize the page structure and its elements: header, footer, sidebars, and navigation.
