How do I add bookmarks to a PDF?

Published in PDF Bookmarking 2 mins read

There are several ways to add bookmarks to a PDF, allowing you to easily navigate through the document. Here's a breakdown of common methods:

  • Right-Click Method: Right-click in the PDF document where you want to add a bookmark and select "Add Bookmark" (or a similar option depending on your PDF viewer).

  • Toolbar Icon Method: Most PDF viewers have a toolbar icon specifically for adding new bookmarks. Look for an icon that resembles a bookmark or a flag. Clicking this will typically add a bookmark at your current location.

  • Options Menu Method: Access the "Options" or "View" menu within your PDF viewer. There should be an option like "New Bookmark" or "Add Bookmark". Selecting this will usually add a bookmark to your current page.

  • Keyboard Shortcut Method:

    • Windows: Use the shortcut Ctrl + B.
    • Mac: Use the shortcut Command + B.

It's important to note that the exact wording of menu options and the appearance of icons may vary depending on the specific PDF viewer you are using (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview, Chrome's built-in PDF viewer, etc.). Regardless of the method you choose, the new bookmark should then appear in a bookmarks panel or sidebar, allowing you to rename it and move it to the desired location in the bookmark hierarchy.
