Entries in a generated table of contents are automatically added to the Bookmarks panel. In addition, you can further
customize your document with bookmarks to direct a reader’s attention or make navigation even easier. Bookmarks
can be nested under other bookmarks.
You may want bookmarks to appear in the Bookmarks tab of the PDF document, but you don’t want the table of
contents to appear in the PDF. In this case, generate a table of contents on the last page of the document. When you
export to PDF, don’t include the last page. Or, if you include the last page of the exported PDF, delete it in Acrobat.
1 Choose Window > Interactive > Bookmarks to display the Bookmarks panel.
2 Click the bookmark under which you want to place the new bookmark. If you don’t select a bookmark, the new
bookmark is automatically added to the end of the list.
3 Do one of the following to indicate where you want the bookmark to jump:
• Click an insertion point in text.
• Select text. (By default, the text you select becomes the bookmark label.)
• Double-click a page in the Pages panel to view it in the document window.
4 Do one of the following to create the bookmark:
• Click the Create New Bookmark icon on the Bookmarks panel.
• Choose New Bookmark from the panel menu.
Bookmarks appear in the Bookmarks tab when you open the exported PDF file in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Note: When you update the table of contents, the bookmarks are reordered, causing any bookmarks generated from a TOC
to appear at the end of the list.
Manage bookmarks
Use the Bookmarks panel to rename, delete, and arrange bookmarks.
Rename a bookmark
❖ Click the bookmark in the Bookmarks panel, and choose Rename Bookmark from the panel menu.
Delete a bookmark
❖ Click a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel, and choose Delete Bookmark from the panel menu.
Arrange, group, and sort bookmarks
You can nest a list of bookmarks to show a relationship between topics. Nesting creates a parent/child relationship. You
can expand and collapse this hierarchical list as desired. Changing the order or nesting order of bookmarks does not
affect the appearance of your actual document.
❖ Do one of the following:
• To expand and collapse the bookmark hierarchy, click the triangle next to the bookmark icon to show or hide
any children it contains.
• To nest a bookmark under another bookmark, select the bookmark or range of bookmarks you want to nest, and
then drag the icon or icons onto the parent bookmark. Release the bookmark.
The bookmark or bookmarks you dragged are nested under the parent bookmark; however, the actual page
remains in its original location in the document.
