Notes
The PDF viewer provides more options than the viewer on the Eugene Web page.
For example, with the PDF viewer, you can print a larger version of a map. The larger PDF version is as clear as the original. If you use printer options to print a large view of map from the Eugene Web page, the print loses clarity.
The PDF viewer allows you to search on word strings and characters found in a document. You can not search with the Eugene viewer.
Search Tab Tips
Use one search line or section at a time.
For the Specific Land Use Application Search, enter search criteria on one line only and click the adjacent Search button. The program responds to the Search button for one line only. The program looks for search criteria on the line with the Search button you click, and ignores search entries on other lines.
