Keyboard shortcuts for PDF files
These keyboard shortcuts work in the PDF editor of Euro-Office: when reading, filling in forms, adding comments and editing a PDF. You'll find the shortcuts that work everywhere, such as printing and searching, in Handy keyboard shortcuts for all editors.
On a Mac, you usually use Cmd where Windows uses Ctrl, and Option where Windows uses Alt. For many shortcuts, Control also works on a Mac instead of Cmd. If "none" is shown for the Mac, that action has no fixed shortcut on the Mac.
