The tables of contents of documents created by most desktop publishing programs
become bookmarks in Acrobat. The creator (or sometimes the user) of a PDF document
can set up additional bookmarks in an existing PDF document to link to another PDF
document or to a Web page. In addition to the bookmarks Acrobat generates automati-
cally from a table of contents and index, Acrobat can create tagged bookmarks from Web
pages (HTML) and Microsoft Word documents converted to PDF using PDFMaker 5.0. For
information on creating tagged bookmarks, see
“Downloading Web pages in Acrobat” on
page 70
and
Using Adobe PDFMaker 5.0 for Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, PowerPoint 97,
and PowerPoint 2000
(which is available as online help when you use the Create PDF
command from within a Microsoft application).
To show the Bookmarks palette:
Do one of the following:
•
Click the Show/Hide Navigation Pane button
, and then click the Bookmarks tab.
•
Choose Window > Bookmarks.
Creating bookmarks
Bookmarks generated from a table of contents are usually adequate to navigate through a
document.There may be times, however, when you will want to add bookmarks that point
to specific sections to draw the reader’s attention to them.
Creating a new bookmark
To create a new bookmark in the current document:
1
Click the Bookmarks tab in the navigation pane to bring the Bookmarks palette to the
front.
2
Click the bookmark under which you want to place the new bookmark. If you don’t
select a bookmark, the new bookmark is automatically added at the end of the list.
3
Use the Next Page and Previous Page arrows on the command bar to navigate to the
destination in the PDF document to which you want the bookmark to link.
4
Modify the view so it directs the reader’s attention to the correct information. For more
information, see
“Setting magnification options” on page 99
. Any magnification option
you set will apply to any new bookmarks you create, as well as to the current bookmark,
until you change the option.
