and Make Short Work of Long PDFs
October 2005
Sometimes a quick stroll through a PDF can turn into an epic journey. Bookmarks help your audience avoid wrong turns by clearly organizing content. Start by clicking on the Bookmarks tab in the Navigation pane. If your document already has bookmarks, you'll see them organized in an outline, which can be quickly edited as needed. Creating new bookmarks is also easy.
Creating new bookmarks
- Go to the page you want to bookmark.
- In the Bookmarks pane, click "Option" and select "New Bookmark."
- Type a name for the bookmark.
Editing and organizing
bookmarks
- Delete bookmarks you don't want to use. Select one or more bookmarks, click"Option" and select "Delete Bookmarks."
- Rename bookmarks according to content. Click the existing name to make the text active and type a new name.
- Change the order of the bookmarks and create hierarchies by clicking and dragging bookmark icons to the desired position.
