You spent the time and effort making them, put them in your audiences view from the start.Īfter a bit of searching on the interwebs, I’ve found a solution that works for me:
Experiment and see how you can change the way the file opens after each tweak.ĭon’t let your PDF file be the one that doesn’t get read thoroughly because the file’s bookmarks were never discovered. You can even force your PDF file to open up without toolbars or the menu bar showing. There are many other settings in this dialog box to explore, such as the Magnification & Page Layout options. Use Document Properties to control the opening view of your PDF file. If you save the file, close and reopen it, you will see the Bookmarks Panel open automatically. To force the Bookmarks Panel to be open every time the file is launched, change this to read Bookmarks Panel and Page. If this option is set to Page Only, that document will open with just the page content showing every time. The very first option presented is labeled Navigation Tab. Choose File > Properties (the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-D or Cmd-D on the Macintosh). How can you force any PDF file to open with the Bookmarks Panel showing? The switch is located on the Initial View section of the file’s Properties Dialog Box. That same user might not even know to click on the Bookmark Panel’s icon to snap it open. I believe that if the Bookmarks Panel is open, even the 1st time Reader user will click on a bookmark to see what it does.
You can download a huge PDF file that is artfully loaded with bookmarks, and have a novice never even know that the bookmarks exist. Seasoned Acrobat/Reader users know to look for bookmarks right away, but what of the newcomers to Acrobat files? Can we assume that any PDF file with bookmarks will be showing those bookmarks automatically? Unfortunately, the answer is no. They are very useful in accurately navigating through a long PDF file.
