Selecting Files
Clicking the Add icon then will open the standard file browse and select window.
From that window you can navigate to the folder and find the files you want to add to
the list of files to be worked.

Alternatively, if you are using Windows Explorer to locate files, you have the
convenience of being able to ‘drag and drop’ files into the document window.

A-PDF Thumbnailer even allows you to select all files in a particular directory/folder by
using the Add Folder button! Adding a directory also supports sub-folders.

Each added file is displayed in the document list window. You can view any of the files
in the window by ‘double-clicking’ them. That will open pdf files in your default pdf
reader program (usually Adobe Reader).
