Get from App Store
For digital and print documents, bookmarks provide a convenient way of organizing content. A bookmark provides a summarized look into the arrangement of content within long documents and helps users navigate and locate specific content without a hassle.
Bookmarked pages can be chapters or sections in a book or a long document that need to be separated. Bookmarks are also a useful tool for people with cognitive problems who may prefer to skimp through an outline arranged in hierarchical order as opposed to going through multiple pages in a long document.
When creating PDF documents, including a bookmark is almost as critical as every other page in the document. Now let’s learn how to create bookmarks in PDF files.
Wondershare PDFelement (PDFelement for Mac) is an industry-leading PDF modification tool that combines all the basic PDF functionalities with advanced PDF modification features. It enables you to edit PDF documents irrespective of the source of the file and create bookmarks, header & footer and bates number on PDF. Its OCR feature automatically detects text in scanned PDF and gives you the possibility of searching and editing the content from such image-based PDF.
Apart from basic editing and document conversion, PDFelement allows users to add different security features for their documents, including digital signatures, passwords, and redaction. You can also shrink the size of your PDF file, extract specific pages from the document, insert or replace pages, or even merge different file formats – including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and image files – into one PDF file.
Wondershare PDFelement offers multi-platform support across different software and hardware platforms, including multiple versions of Windows and Mac. Like most of its features, inserting bookmarks is a simple process with PDFelement. The following steps illustrate just how simple bookmarking is with PDFelement.
Your install should take no more than a few minutes to install for most computers. Once it’s done, launch the application. On both the Windows and Mac versions, the first window that appears will let you load your PDF file for viewing or editing.
Once your document is uploaded, navigate to the View tab on the top menu and select the "Bookmark" option to launch the module, which appears as a sidebar to the left of the document. You can also right-click on the first page, chapter, or section you want to select for bookmarking. Click "Add Bookmark" on the dropdown list. This displays the bookmarked page as a shortcut on the left bookmark pane, which is named New Bookmark by default. Change this name to something that is related to the respective bookmarked page. Do this for all pages that you want to include in the outline.
You can also add children to the main bookmarks, which will represent subtopics or subtitles on your document. To add a subtitle, go to the main bookmark title on the bookmarking side pane, right-click to select it, and click Add Child. Head over to your document and make a single click on the page that you want to be listed as a child. Rename the added subtopic or subtitle appropriately on the outline. You can use this procedure to create multiple subtitles for each of your parent titles.
You can also delete bookmarks from your outline by right-clicking the respective bookmark entry and selecting "Remove Bookmark(s)". Once you are satisfied with the bookmarks on your PDF document, click on the "File" button and select "Save As" to save the changes.
