Order and group PDF bookmarks

Bookmarks in PDF documents are easy to update in Nitro PDF Professional. The order in which they are listed in the Bookmark panel can be changed by dragging them around. Additionally, bookmarks can be nested or grouped together so that a parent bookmark has child bookmarks grouped under it -- this allows you to have multiple tiers or levels of bookmarks, which become particularly useful when preparing navigation for long, well-structured documents.

To display the Bookmarks panel:

1. Do one of the following:
• Select the Show/Hide Document Panel  toolbar button, and then the Bookmarks panel icon.
• Choose View > Navigation Panel > Bookmarks.
• Use the F6 shortcut key and select the Bookmarks panel icon.

To reorder bookmarks:

1. Select the bookmark to move.
2. Drag the bookmark to just below the bookmark you want it to appear after.
3. When you see a red horizontal line appear, release the bookmark.

To group and nest bookmarks:

1. Select the bookmark to nest.
2. Drag it to the parent bookmark you want it grouped or nested under.
3. Once the parent bookmark displays a red line beneath it, drag the bookmark left so it is below the bookmark icon.
4. When you see a red horizontal arrow appear, release the bookmark.

Note: When you save a document, the last state the bookmarks were in is recorded. For example, if your bookmarks were collapsed, then only the top level would display. If you had some groups of bookmarks expanded and some collapsed, then that is how the bookmarks would appear when the document was opened next.
