Bookmark a PDF: How to Add Bookmarks to a PDF


PDF bookmarks are crucial tools when reading PDF files. Imagine reading a voluminous book or an important document and taking a break on page number 319. The next time you want to continue reading, it may be difficult to land back on the same page. That is unless you opt to note the page number somewhere and reference it when you resume.

Bookmarks help you avoid such by allowing you to quickly navigate via pages, skip to various locations in your PDF and have a quick glance at the content the same way you would do with the table of contents.

But how do you create bookmarks in PDF? Read on to learn more because this post is exactly about that.

What does it mean to bookmark a PDF?

A bookmark is a link to a particular page or section of a PDF file. Every bookmark leads to a different page or view in the document. Bookmarking a PDF means selecting a text on the document's page and making it a bookmark. It can also be adding an untitled bookmark, then setting and naming it in the bookmarks pane.

Adding bookmarks to different sections of the same document does not restrict you from using page numbers, but you have precise control over user experiences. For instance, a bookmark can move a reader to a different page and zoom in to a small page section. Setting that involves editing the action property of a bookmark.
