How do I convert an outline in Adobe Acrobat?

Published in PDF Manipulation 2 mins read

The provided reference does not describe how to convert an outline to a different format but rather explains how to make annotations disappear. Based on the given information, here's how you can use the method to seemingly "convert" an outline by hiding it:

To make an outline disappear by making it transparent:

  1. Open the Adobe Acrobat document containing the outline you want to hide.

  2. Go to the commenting tools (usually found under "Comment" or "Tools").

  3. Select the text box annotation tool. This is the tool that allows you to draw a box and insert text.

  4. Place a text box over the outline area. Be sure that it covers the entirety of the outline you wish to hide.

  5. Enter a Full Stop (".") in the Text box.

  6. Adjust the Opacity to 0%. This makes the text box invisible, effectively covering the outline without being seen.

  7. Select Apply to multiple if you have several outlines you wish to hide.

  8. Click OK. This should hide the outlines by overlaying invisible text boxes.


Note: This method doesn't truly convert the outline but rather makes it visually disappear from the document. The underlying outline will still exist in the PDF document.

1 Open PDF document
2 Select comment tool
