About bookmarks
A
bookmark
is a type of link with representative text in the Bookmarks panel in the navigation pane. Each bookmark
goes to a different view or page in the document. Bookmarks are generated automatically during PDF creation from
the table-of-contents entries of documents created by most desktop publishing programs. These bookmarks are
often tagged and can be used to make edits in the PDF.
Initially, a bookmark displays the page that was in view when the bookmark was created, which is the bookmark’s
destination
. Although you can set bookmark destinations as you create each bookmark, it is sometimes easier to
create a group of bookmarks, and then set the destinations later.
You can use bookmarks to mark a place in the PDF to which you want to return, or to jump to a destination in the
PDF, another document, or a web page. Bookmarks can also perform actions, such as executing a menu item or
submitting a form.
Note:
A user can add bookmarks to a document only if the security settings allow it.
Bookmarks act as a table of contents for some PDFs.
