View Toolbar
The View toolbar lets you switch between the different workspaces, and zoom in or out on the main area in each workspace.
The first time you open Storyboard Pro, the default Drawing workspace is loaded. There are a total of eight ready-made workspaces.
Use the keyboard shortcuts 3 to 8 to open the corresponding workspaces. There is no keyboard shortcut for the PDF View. You must use the button on the View toolbar.
