View an optimized version of your document in Pages on iPad
Screen View in Pages allows you to view and edit a version of your word-processing document that’s optimized for your iPad display. Screen View lays out content in a continuous flow, hides elements like page numbers and page breaks, and resizes others to fit your screen.
To take full advantage of your iPad display, Screen View hides certain elements, including:
Objects that aren’t set to Move with Text
Page count
Page numbers
Page breaks
Content in headers and footers
Document margins (and the ruler)
Elements modified by Screen View vary depending on the document, but can include columns, line spacing, and page breaks, for example. Elements that are hidden or modified in Screen View remain part of the document and are not deleted. They reappear in their original state when Screen View is turned off.

Changes to visible elements in Screen View

Footnotes appear in the body text, immediately following the paragraph where the item the footnote is referring to is located.
When a document containing a table of contents is open, a Table of Contents button appears at the bottom of the screen.
The badge indicating a comment doesn’t appear in the margin where the comment is located.
All content appears in a single column, regardless of the number of columns in the document.
Left and right indentations don’t appear.
