Navigating with the Bookmarks panel

Bookmarks in Nitro PDF Professional add a powerful interactive aid that makes reading, navigating and using PDF documents on-screen much easier. The bookmarks are displayed in the Bookmarks panel to the left of the document and when they are selected they can perform many different actions -- link to pages in the current document or to pages in other PDFs, link to other files and Web pages, perform advanced actions that modify forms and add interactivity via JavaScript.

The most common use of bookmarks --  linking to different pages within a document -- is one of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance a PDF document.

To open the Bookmarks panel:

  1. Select the Show/Hide Document Panel  toolbar button, and from the Navigation header choose the Bookmarks panel  icon.
  2. Choose View > Navigation Panel > Bookmarks.
  3. Press F7, and from the Navigation header choose the Bookmarks panel  icon.

Note: To learn about creating and editing bookmarks see the Using Bookmarks section of the user guide.
