Add Bookmarks to a PDF - Adobe Acrobat DC

Bookmarks are a quick and easy way to make your dense or voluminous PDFs a breeze to navigate through. It's a feature that I used daily back when I was a law clerk at a personal injury firm and when I was a law student.

You did an outstanding job explaining how to add bookmarks in a pdf! Thank you! Of all the KZbin videos I watched trying to figure it out, you're the only person to provide such a clear explanation.

[@barbaralittle6400]

First one to explain concisely and I got it... thank you - I am now subscribed

[@chuckriesterer8284]

Great video!! I have a question, is there a way to auto create a bookmark from adding new pages to the pdf?

[@rolandhenshaw6966]

[@meenajoshi5857]

G.O.A.T. Thank you!

[@user-fo8jr6uq2n]

When you are creating the bookmarks, and then arranging them, how do you go back out to the left edge in the list of bookmarks, after you have done subheadings, and you want to go on to another main heading?

[@realestategomez]

Thanks for sharing. Helpful!

[@JonthanandErika]

Lol, when you're a runner and attorney and you end up getting appellate formatting tips from the same guy who gives you running tips!

[@sheri-b]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@connieparker7733]

I bookmarked a document by using the flag but it placed the new bookmark under another bookmark as a sub title. How do I move a sub bookmark to a new bookmark place? I hope I am explaining it correctly.

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

In an old pdf In the bookmarks if I click bookmark and right click- print bookmark it will print the 3 pages “assigned” to that bookmark’ How do I add say 3 consecutive pages To be 1 bookmark…? When I right click- print it only prints the 1 page I want it to print all 3 like in first example…. Any help be greatly obliged

[@rickdee888]

I don't even have the option of "Add bookmark" when I right click.

[@Mokhrotaim]

Thank you! Very helpful 👍

[@everybodyspastor7425]

That was awesome thank you!

[@LSUsaintsFANS]

Very helpful. How do I delete bookmark(s)?

[@MikeKoGTC]

right click. delete.

[@craigfmitchell]

Love this video! The video shows that blue-highlighting is preserved along with a bookmark definition - that would be an ideal option as bookmarks lose their power when you still have to search through a page for a specific reference. However, the blue-highlighting *vanishes* once another item has been selected. Is there a way to permanently preserve the highlighting of the originally selected item (short of manually highlighting the item in question)? Thanks!

[@pedrovarrgas]

thank you for this video. I have 1 question. once you make your bookmarks, is there away to search for a specific bookmark?

[@jerryviviano5062]

1) Be sure to explain the acronyms you use. You blasted through some blurb on "OCR". Well, I know what OCR means because I've been an engineer for 40 years. You know what "OCR" means. There are a lot of people out there who don't. Those people were immediately lost when you did that. 2) Creating Bookmarks - In summary, you said "Select text, right click on it, select Add Bookmark." I was able to select the text, and right click on it. There was no "Add Bookmark" option in the menu which opened up. I saw somewhere else on the web that the security settings on the document have to be configured to allow bookmarks to be added. You didn't mention that, nor how to set the security settings to allow, if, in fact, the document of interest will allow the security settings to be configured like that. You get an A for effort. But the end result had enough holes in in it early enough that I just quit watching it.

[@MikeKoGTC]

i'm sorry to hear that you had difficulties. was the document you were working on password protected or otherwise locked down with security features? or are you on a corporate/IT managed install of Acrobat?

[@hannahsalter8540]

Great content, life saver!

[@camhaines5482]

Nice job! Thanks!

[@susanwillis5224]

Can you do this in the app through a phone.

[@kimmendes8033]

how do you email 1 bookmark from the document

[@maritzas7522]

Love this!

[@BeautiFuFu]

Mine doesn’t have the bookmark icon ?? 😩 is that part of a paid account or what?? All I have is the thumbnail and attachment icon. When I highlight and right click, there’s no option for “add bookmark”

[@deanfeldman2505]

Very helpful thanks

[@robertsorenson7075]

If I have a fully bookmarked document and either replace a page or add one or more, how do you keep from losing the bookmarks? I'm told that people are losing bookmarks a large pdf's when a team member has to edit the pages they provided and replace what's in the pdf or another page(s) need to be added. Outstanding tutorial, BTW! Quick learning in 5 minutes.

[@mamallamaltd5654]

Such a great video! Straight and to the point. Thank you so much!

Hey nice information. I am trying to add bookmarks in adobe framemaker but unable to add all headings like preface, glossary and index. Pls tell how it can be done?

[@NellaLongo]

Hi, this vid was so helpful thx. Once you have added bookmarks to your doc…what if you add pages (eg, from another pdf with no bookmarks) after the fact? Does this effect the bookmarks?? Thx!

[@abdullahalmunsur6952]

Thanks a lot

Hi, got a question about pdf. I have a pool of ppt slides convert into pdf pages and I want to rearrange it into 3 different sequrence of presentation, can bookmarking do the trick?

[@marchiestand8854]

Bookmark function only with the pro version (liable to pay) .. ?

[@marygibb3033]

You are fantastic! I’ve learned so much. I would like to know is there a way to have a page link open in a new window? I like that feature for hyperlinks but do not know if that is a feature when you are linking within the document. I would appreciate a solution if anyone has one.

[@dimdimbaby]

How do I get my i, ii, iii pages listed in my page headers so that my 1, 2, 3, pages match with the header?

[@arnoudjanschut]

Your video is already a bit old, but I have a pdf with option prices for 280 products, and I want to have a bookmark for every product, which by hand is a lot of work, and to add to that, we have 10 channels so I would have to do this 10 times. Is there a way to tell Adobe DC 'make a bookmark of every test that is 12pt (the product headers are 12pt medium weight while the rest is 11pt normal weight).

[@electrocat9]

That bookmark doesn't stay highlighted, it's a clickbait

[@Xtianu]

Hi, Thanks for your videos. I have a terms that is repeated 100 times across a document and i need to point each of the 100 terms (same word) to a unique bookmark. I can't find how to do it. Do you know how? Can you help me?

The attorney wants to link the Word document chronology to the OCR'd PDF medical records. Is there some way to do that? I have tried numerous things and nothing works!! Help!

[@MikeKoGTC]

i'm not sure there is a way to do that if you need to keep Word as the starting point. i would recommend converting the word document to PDF, add it to the beginning or the end of the medical record PDF, and link from there. if it's a matter of needing to be able to make changes or edits to the chronology, one workaround could be to then edit the pdf where you can add, edit, or delete text. or if this is something that you need to do a lot of, i would recommend looking at a tool specifically designed to do something like this, such as document review software. CaseMap, although old (and I'm not sure one can even get it anymore) is what you are looking for. iPro has recently released (or is about to release) Case Story, which is nearly identical.

[@kathiecondon1330]

@@MikeKoGTC thank you for your reply. You can still get CaseMap and I use it a lot in my legal nurse consulting business. Problem was the attorney I was working for did not want to use CaseMap. The attorney wanted to have the chronology on a screen during court and be able to click a hyperlink to show the information in the medical records on another screen. I will continue working to see if there is a way to do this.

[@MikeKoGTC]

we make those all the time for our clients. timelines in powerpoint with each fact hyperlinked to the underlying document. click again to get back to the main timeline. but for what you're thinking, can you put link in the word documents to the pdfs and then print that word doc to pdf? just brainstorming here, but i think that would get you what you wanted. i would just need to test (1) whether word allows external links and (2) whether external links would become embedded attachments within your pdf when converting from word to pdf.
