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.
