Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Page Thumbnail Basics
Acrobat features page thumbnails, which are miniature portraits of pages in a document. With page thumbnails, you can quickly navigate to a selected page and adjust the view of the page.
Creating Page Thumbnails
Page thumbnails are created when you click the Pages tab in the Navigation pane. For large documents, generating the thumbnails can take several seconds. Once page thumbnails are loaded, you are able to toggle between reduced or enlarged page thumbnails.

From the Navigation pane, select the Pages tab
NOTE: This action toggles between hiding and displaying the Pages pane. -
From the Options pull-down list, select Reduce Page Thumbnails or Enlarge Page Thumbnails as desired
Embedding Page Thumbnails
You can embed page thumbnails into a document so that they do not need to be redrawn every time the Pages pane is opened. Embedding page thumbnails uses approximately 3k of space per page thumbnail.
