SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) is a form of interactive image that can be viewed in a browser using the the free plugin provided by Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html).
Panning: Hold the option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) and click-and-drag with the mouse to pan an SVG image.
Zooming: Hold the command key (Macintosh) or Ctrl key (PC) and click to zoom in at the mouse pointer location. Hold the modifier key and click-and-drag to select a region to zoom into. Hold the modifier and shift keys and click to zoom out. You can also use the zoom commands in the context menu.
Control-click (Macintosh) or right click (PC) in the SVG image area to open the contextual pop-up menu. This will reveal the commands and options for interacting with the SVG image.
Links: If you bring up the context menu over a link, you can choose Open or Open in New Window to activate the link. If you wish to open a link and then navigate back to the SVG file, it is better to choose Open in New Window, otherwise the image will return to its original view when you return to it.
Quality: You can disable the Higher Quality option to cause the SVG image to display more quickly, but with lower quality.
Animations: Use the Pause command to pause an animated SVG image. The pause command changes to the Play command when the animation is paused. You can use the Mute command to disable any sounds embedded in the SVG image. The Pause and Mute commands are not available in Adobe SVG Viewer's context menu when viewing SVG in RealPlayer; in that environment please use the equivalent RealPlayer commands instead.
Searching: Click Find to open the find dialog box. Here you may enter the text you want to search for, make choices about matching whole words only, case, and the direction of the search. The find command works with transparent, obscured, or moving text. The entire document is searched, regardless of how much of the SVG is currently visible. The result of the search is highlighted, and panned (but not zoomed) into view.
Copying: The Copy SVG and Save SVG as commands let you copy the SVG image to the clipboard and save the image to a local file. The copy command places the SVG as it currently appears onto the clipboard in both Unicode and raster formats. Note that this differs from the Save SVG as command, which makes a copy of the original SVG file. When text is selected, the copy command changes to Copy Selected Text.
The 'Open in New Window' command is only visible if the menu has been called while over a linked object. In other cases it will appear as below.
