Benefits of Bookmarking a PDF File

Bookmarks enable users to quickly find particular points in a document, such as chapters, charts, or other important points that you want to draw attention to.

Creating Bookmarks

Open the file that you want to bookmark.
Navigate to the location in your document where you want the first bookmark to appear.
Use the Select icon to select the text or image that you want to bookmark.
Click the Bookmarks tab on the left side of the window.
Click the New Bookmark icon, give the bookmark a title, and press the Enter key on the keyboard.

Tip

If you need to delete or rename a bookmark, right-click on the specific bookmark in the Bookmarks tab and choose the Delete or Rename option.
