Slider shows one page at a time with previous/next and a page-number box and enables Initial Page. Scroller shows every page in one scrolling column and enables Height instead.

#Where you do it

Scroller drops those page controls and leaves zoom, download and fullscreen, because the reader moves through the document by scrolling.

#Worth knowing

  • Scroller layout has no page navigation whatsoever, and Initial Page is ignored in it.

  • Pop-out and fullscreen open at the reader's current page, not the configured Initial Page, and they ignore the Scroller Height limit.

  • In a published Capable Site the viewer is reduced to zoom, Slider page navigation and Download. No pop-out, no fullscreen, no selectable text regardless of the Render Text Layer setting.

How it actually behaves.
