Bookmarks in PDF files

Automate PDF bookmark creation

The bookmarks in Nitro PDF Professional work much like the bookmarks you place in paper books—they allow you to retain links to particular pages in a document for quicker access, as well other actions, such as:

• Go to a page in a document.
• Go to a page in another PDF document.
• Go to a web page.
• Open another file.
• Reset a form.
• Submit a form.
• Run JavaScript.

With electronic bookmarks you can group them together in hierarchies, specify the exact text labels to use, and set your document so that the bookmarks are displayed or hidden when a document is first opened.

If they’re well laid out, a set of bookmarks will help the user understand the basic structure of long documents. Moreover, including bookmarks like this will hopefully encourage users of your documents to read them online instead of wasting paper by printing them.

The most common use of bookmarks—linking to different pages within a PDF—is just about the simplest way to make a document more user friendly.

To view bookmarks in a PDF file:

• On the Home tab, in the Show/Hide group, click Bookmark .

Tip: You can set the initial view of a document so that it opens with the Bookmarks pane already displayed. Go to Nitro PDF Button > Document Properties > Initial View and choose the Bookmarks pane and pages option.
