PDF Annotation Tool - Ability to zoom in / out of PDF documents

[cgoodman3]

In the new Intelligence Suite tools the PDF Image Template tool allows a user to select portions of the document to be OCRed downstream by the Image to Text tool, however there is no way to currently zoom in and out of the document to draw the annotations, the only way I have found is to stretch the configuration window and the PDF width will autoscale, but doing so will lose the annotations.

So the request is to have zoom in/out and pan options within the configuration pane to improve the UX.

Hey @cgoodman3 

I would love the ability to zoom in/out on this tool as well without having to do it by resizing the window! This would allow users to see their pdf's more easily without compromising the space they can see on the canvas.

In my experience, however, the fields you have already mapped out are preserved when making the window larger. In your sample video above, I think the issue is that you don't actually name the field and click save before widening the window. If you do this first, it should preserve the field you created.

Hi @Kenda the gif is a bit of a mistake. It was supposed to focus on the fact that you need to drag the configuration window to the right to make it large enough to accurately select the part of the template. But it does also identify if you select something on the right hand side you need to use the scroll bars to expose the save button to save the configuration otherwise it will be lost.
