Enable an object to be viewed full screen

You can enable readers to temporarily view images, shapes, tables, charts, and text boxes full screen in the completed book. Readers tap the object to view it full screen, and pinch the object to return it to its original size.

Enable full-screen interaction

  1. Select a floating or anchored image, shape, table, chart, or text box.

    Note:   To enable full-screen interaction for an inline object, change the inline object to a floating or anchored object.

  2. If the Widget inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Widget Inspector button, and click Interaction.

  3. Select the “Make full-screen on tap” checkbox.

  4. To display the object as a thumbnail image, select the “Full-screen only” checkbox, then do either or both of the following:

    • Continue to edit the object: Select the thumbnail image, click Edit Frame, make your changes, and click Done.

    • Change the thumbnail image: Drag a new image to the thumbnail.

    In the completed book, the object appears as a thumbnail image, which readers tap to interact with.
