Make a PDF chart fill the screen on stage

On stage, a PDF chart fills the screen by itself: PraisePad trims the white margins around the music and makes the page as big as the screen allows. On a tablet held sideways, it shows half a page at a time, bigger: the top half, then the bottom. To see whole pages, tap Whole page under the song's title.

Half pages and whole pages

• Upright, a PDF shows one whole page at a time, as big as the screen allows.
• Sideways, it shows half a page at a time. The page splits in the space between two lines, never through one. A page turn (a swipe, a tap near the edge, or a pedal) goes to the bottom half, then on to the next page.
• Tap Whole page to see whole pages instead. On a wide screen, two pages sit side by side when they fit as big as one. Tap Half page to go back.
• On a phone, hold it upright: the page fills the width.

Your choice is kept for every PDF, on all your devices. It's also in the display options: tap the T button and find PDF pages. Fit the screen shows whole pages upright and half pages sideways, or choose Whole page or Half page.

Good to know

• Text size and Columns are for typed charts. A PDF sizes itself.
• When a song has a typed chart too, tap Show the PDF to switch. PraisePad remembers it for that song next time.
• Your notes and drawings on a PDF stay where you put them, and a note in a margin keeps that margin on screen. See notes on PDFs.
• When you play together, everyone following goes to the same page as the leader, however their screen shows it.
