Why do you need to create bookmarks

A bookmark is a type of link with representative text on the Bookmarks panel in the navigation pane. Each bookmark goes to a different view or page in the document. Bookmarks are generated automatically during PDF creation from the table-of-contents entries of documents created by most desktop publishing programs. These bookmarks are often tagged and can be used to make edits in the PDF.

Initially, a bookmark displays the page that was in view when the bookmark was created, which is the bookmark’s destination. Although you can set bookmark destinations as you create each bookmark, it is sometimes easier to create a group of bookmarks, and then set the destinations later.

You can use bookmarks to mark a place in the PDF to which you want to return, or to jump to a destination in the PDF, another document, or a web page. Bookmarks can also perform actions, such as executing a menu item or submitting a form.

Note: A user can add bookmarks to a document only if the security settings allow it.

  1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Text Tool.
  2. Click in the text you want to edit, and then right-click/Control-click and choose Properties.
  3. Change text attributes as desired.

If the necessary font is installed on the system, you can also use the TouchUp Text tool to edit the text.

Note: If you cannot edit text, the document may have security restrictions.
