I don’t know if this is the correct place to put a question, but here goes. I’m wondering if bookmarks can be automatically created in Acrobat 9 Pro. What is AutoBookmark™ Plug-in? AutoBookmark™ is an advanced plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe® Acrobat Professional® software. AutoBookmark™ is designed. I have a PDF file which I converted From Microsoft Word. Actually I'm working on an eBook and now I want to publish it as a PDF. How do I create PDF bookmarks, either. Create Bookmarks in PDF Documents. Bookmarks provide a listing of contents that reside within an Adobe Acrobat Creative Suite 5 PDF file or links to external content. You can create bookmarks from existing text or you can use your own text to describe the content. Bookmark a page. By navigating to a page, and to a specific view on a page, you can establish the destination of a bookmark link. With a PDF document open, follow these steps: If the Bookmark icon isn’t visible, choose View→Navigation Panels→Bookmarks. The Bookmarks panel appears on the left of the Document window. In the Document window, navigate to the page that you want as the bookmark’s destination. Set the magnification of the view that you want by using the Marquee Zoom tool to either zoom in or zoom out. The zoom level that you’re at when you create the bookmark is the view that viewers see when they click the bookmark. In the Bookmarks panel, click the Options icon and from the menu that appears, choose New Bookmark. The new bookmark appears in the Bookmarks panel as Untitled. Change the name by typing something more descriptive. If you leave the bookmark as Untitled but want to rename it later, you must click the bookmark and then choose Options→Rename Bookmark from the menu in the Bookmark panel. Test your bookmark by scrolling to another page and viewing it in the Document window; then click your saved bookmark in the Bookmark panel. The Document window shows the exact location and zoom that you selected when you created the bookmark. If you use the Selection tool to highlight text, such as a headline or a caption, that’s part of the bookmark destination and then choose Options→New Bookmark, the selected text becomes the title of the new bookmark. You can use this shortcut to avoid entering a new name for new bookmark titles. You can also press Ctrl+B (Windows) or Command+B (Mac) to quickly create a bookmark. Bookmark an external source. You can also use bookmarks to create links to other documents. Follow these steps: Choose Options→New Bookmark in the Bookmarks panel. Replace the Untitled bookmark entry that appears in the Bookmarks panel with an appropriate title for the bookmark. Choose Options→Properties from the Bookmarks panel menu. The Bookmark Properties dialog box appears. With this dialog box, you can change a bookmark so that it links to any type of file. The bookmark could be a link to another PDF file, a Photoshop file, or even a Microsoft Excel file. In the Bookmark Properties dialog box, click the Actions tab, choose Open a File from the Select Action drop- down list, and then click the Add button. The Select File to Open dialog box appears. You can create links to Web sites as well. Choose Open a Web Link to access an Internet Web address. Click the Browse button, choose a file to which the bookmark will navigate, and then click the Select button. Note that the external file isn’t attached to the current document. If you distribute a PDF file containing bookmarks to external files, you must distribute the referenced external files as well; otherwise, the links won’t work. In addition, the linked files need to be in the same relative location as the original documents — so don’t change the name of the linked file or the folder in which it’s located. Slick Trick: Creating PDF Bookmarks“All PDF is not created equal.”I tell folks this all the time because it’s true. One nice touch that can make a PDF much easier to use for on- screen viewing is an intuitive and comprehensive collection of bookmarks. The best way to create PDF bookmarks in an automated way is to export PDF directly from In. Design with the Bookmarks option enabled. However, I realize that sometimes that part of the process is outside of your control. If the PDF was exported from In. Design with the “Create Tagged PDF” option enabled then you still have a trick up your sleeve. Here’s how it goes…. Open the PDF in Acrobat and open the Bookmarks Panel. Click the Options menu in the Bookmarks panel and choose "New Bookmarks from Structure."Acrobat shows a list of all the XML structure available in the document. Scroll down and choose the tag that matches an appropriate Paragraph Style such as "Head 1" or "Story Headline." Click OK. Acrobat maps all text with the selected element to a new PDF bookmark. Now you can rename and organize your bookmarks as needed. Remember that this trick isn’t necessary if the PDF is exported from In. Design with the Bookmarks option enabled. Thanks to Rick Borstein for this Slick Trick. Addition: The original Adobe engineer for the Create Bookmarks from Structure feature in Acrobat just informed me of one more cool trick. Even if the PDF was created via a Post. Script/Distiller output path (which loses the document structure) you still have one last option to try. Open the PDF in Acrobat and choose Advanced > Accessibility > Add Tags to Document. This will infer what it can from the document and create tags as best as it knows how. The structure inference may not be perfect, but you can choose View > Navigation tabs > Tags and tweak the tags in the Tags panel. Now follow steps 2- 4 above.
