Adobe Reader Bookmarks

I have all of my Aviation publications in .PDF format.  I keep them on my android tablet (Samsung Tab S 8.4).  With the adobe reader app for android, it allows you to bookmark pages (along with renaming the page you bookmarked).   Also I have these publications on the acrobat.com cloud, and when I open the file from the cloud on my phone the bookmarks I created are there.
Here is my issue.  When I transfer the file to my phone (Galaxy Note 4) and open that same .pdf file from the tablet on the phone, those bookmarks I created are not present on the phone.   Same if I upload the file from the tablet to my google drive and then try to open the file on my phone, the bookmarks are not there.
Is there a way that when I save a .pdf file (save it to anything other than acrobat.com) that I edited (i.e. bookmarked, highlighted...) on my tablet, that I can see those bookmarks on my computer or my phone.  Doing everything through the acrobat.com cloud is fine for me, but I want to share these files with others that I work with, but all they get is the file with things highlighted or comments, they don't get the custom bookmarks I made.

Hi,
The PDF bookmarks listed under 'Table of Contents'  are a part of the PDF while the user added bookmarks are the custom bookmarks added by the user to aid in reading. On moving a particular file from one location to another, the user added bookmarks are not retained. They, however, come back if you move the file to its original location. We are aware of this issue and tracking it internally. Also, the user added bookmarks are a feature of Adobe Reader on Android only, hence you will not be able to view them on your desktop or an iOS device.
If you upload the file to Acrobat.com, these bookmarks must persist and should be available across all your android devices until you move the file from one folder to another. Could you please confirm that without moving the file, the user added bookmarks are not retained and that you are unable to view these bookmarks across different android devices?
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

  • Adobe Reader Bookmark panel scrolling

    We have documents with a large number of bookmarks. We would like to be able to scroll through the bookmarks but there is no scroll bar on the bookmarks panel. The mouse wheel allows us to perform this action, however we are using a smartboard to display the pdfs so that's not an option.
    Is there a way to display a scroll bar in the bookmarks panel or enable clicking and dragging in the panel to make it easier to scroll through the bookmarks?
    Thanks

    I had the same issue and this post was the first result on Google. After seeing no replies I immediately gave up searching and instead dropped into Adobe Reader's View menu and started tinkering.
    SOLUTION:
    It turns out Adobe Reader changes some settings on installation if it detects certain hardware (eg. a touchscreen). In this case the offending option is 'Touch Mode.' To get to the option (in Adobe Reader Xl v11.0.07 on Windows 7) go to 'View'->'Show/Hide'->'Toolbar Items' and click on 'Touch Mode.' There's a checkbox next to it that is always checked on my system but clicking it does seem to toggle a vertical scrollbar in the bookmarks pane.
    I have no idea why someone at Adobe decided it would be a good idea to disable the scrollbar at all, ever. It makes it impossible to navigate large PDFs like technical manuals and there's no notice at all to the user that settings have been "optimized" for a touch interface.
    It would be nice of the program to ask before doing in the future. But instead the distinctions between malware and products like Adboe Reader (with all its many issues, vulnerabilities and shady behind-the-scenes operations) continues to blur year after year. I hope this helps someone else having the same issue and maybe someone from Adobe might read this and take my advice to heart.

  • Linking to adobe reader bookmarks via C#

    Hello,
      I have a pdf file that was created with bookmarks in it.  This particular document is a manual for a product we are developing.  We use this pdf document as a link to our "What's this help" in our product.  We first click the "What's this" button and then an item in our product.  As of Adobe Reader X (ARX) this is no longer working as it has in the past.  This is the process in which things should and have happened until ARX:
    1. Click the "What's this" button
    2. Click somewhere in the application
    3. Adobe Reader comes up.
    4. Adobe Reader opens the "User Manual"
    5. Adobe Reader jumps to selected bookmark.
    What is happening as of ARX is the following:
    1. Click the "What's this" button
    2. Click somewhere in the application
    3. Adobe Reader comes up.
    4. Adobe Reader opens the "User Manual"
    5. FAILURE! - Adobe Reader does NOT jump to selected bookmark.
    Nothing has changed in our code.  This worked for versions of Adobe Reader 8 and 9, but now with X it doesn't work.  Below is a code snipit of what we are doing.  Any help on the matter would be appreciated.  I have tried to put sleeps between commands to Adobe Reader but that doesn't seem to help.  I have turned off the protection mode new to ARX and that seems to help but still not consistent.
    Code Snipit:
    DdeClient client = new DdeClient("acroview", "control");
    try
       client.Connect();
    catch{}
    if (!client.IsConnected)
       client = new DdeClient("acroviewr10", "control");
       client.Connect();
    try
       client.Execute("[DocOpen(\"" + userGuide + "\")]", 10000);
       Thread.Sleep(1000);
       client.Execute("[FileOpenEx(\"" + userGuide + "\")]", 10000);
       Thread.Sleep(1000);
       client.Execute("[DocGoToNameDest(\"" + userGuide + "\"," + bookmark + ")]", 10000);

    Thank you for replying.
    I considered passwords or certificates, but that predisposes that I know who the users are in advance. I don't, this is on an open website.
    I wasn't clear on this point. I should have mentioned that I'm not looking for a foolproof way of preventing the user from emailing their responses. I don't think that is possible. I'm only attempting to discourage a user from doing so inadvertantly, by making it a little more difficult.

  • Is it possible to add bookmarks to a PDF file with Adobe Reader for iOS?

    In the App Store write-up on this app, it said that one could "Use bookmarks to jump directly to a section in your PDF file."  But I don't see how one can add such bookmarks.  Do they only mean that you can use bookmarks that were already in the document before you open it in Adobe Reader?

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

  • How to create bookmarks in adobe reader 9

    In adobe reader 7 you could create bookmarks so the viewer could click on them and go to that section of the document. I cannot seem to find it on version 9. All you can do is create thumbnails. Any ideas on how to create bookmarks in the newest version?

    Adobe Reader can't create bookmarks. Adobe Acrobat can create bookmarks.

  • Adobe Reader 9 bookmark pane will not stay active

    I have created a manual in Word 2007 then created a PDF.  In Adobe Pro 9 I created links in the manual that links to a second document which is the glossary.
    If you open the manual in Reader 9, the initial view is set as Bookmark Panel and Page.  When you click a link and go to the glossary then select "Click to return to the previous page view", it returns to the manual but it has Pages Panel and Page as the initial view.
    I have the initial view set to Bookmark Panel and page set in the manual, but it changes when I return to the manual from the glossary.  Does anyone else have this issue?  It did not happen in Adobe Reader 8.

    In Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) you can change the initial view of the PDF documents.

  • How do I create a bookmark on Adobe Reader X?

    I have a lot of Engineering reference books in .pdf format that have no bookmarks to chapters/topics. Am I able to create bookmarks on Reader X or would I need the full acrobat software? Bookmarking these documents would make life a lot easier when sourcing info so any help would be massively appreciated!

    I am so naive that I'm using Adobe READER as my default PDF READER, and I expect bookmarks to be default functionality of any READER.
    Pushing it to the paid PRO functionality is really nasty. Why not then push 'Open' function to Acrobat Pro: Wanna open PDF — buy Acrobat Pro!
    Really without a sarcasm: there is a whole lot of convenient functions in Acrobat Pro, and I'm okay with the fact that it is paid. But bookmarks is really a BASIC feature of reading experience, its like scrolling pages, it's a feature of an 'MVP kind', I mean if you're making a reader — bookmarks should be there from the very start. And even more: it is SOOO easy to implement, that the fact it is from the 'PRO' set of functions is funny!

  • Adobe Reader for Android: Bookmarks

    I find Adobe Reader for Android excellent even for image or picture files in that it allows searching for words and highlighting etc.
    However it lacks one important feature - bookmarks.
    Please add bookmarks as soon as possible to make an excellent product even better.

    Actually, the Adobe Reader for Android does support bookmarks to the same degree as Adobe Reader on both Windows and Macintosh. Any bookmarks that were created by the PDF file's authoring application or added to the document with Adobe Acrobat may be readily accessed. The Adobe Reader applications (Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android) do not provide any mechanism for adding, modifying, or deleting bookmarks.

  • Android Adobe Reader 11.2.1 has bookmark icon, what does it accomplish?

    1.  Is there an instruction manual for 11.2.1 Android Adobe Reader? 
    If there was a manual I wouldn't have to ask this question in this forum.
    I have looked and looked for a manual and I have concluded I will find the Holy Grail before I find a manual.
    2.  The app has a little tiny bookmark icon at the top. 
    I can press it and it says in a momentary window at the bottom, that a bookmark was added for that page.
    Hooray, I have added a bookmark. 
    No surely there must be some way to get back to that bookmarked page quickly.  Otherwise, what was the point?
    As I scroll through the page that bookmark icon has a barely visible check sign when I am at an already bookmarked page.
    As I read the document the menus at the top and bottom go gray after some number of seconds
    and that bookmark icon disappears so the check mark is not visible.  Though as small as it is it's essentially un-useful
    except to tell me that I have already placed a bookmark at the page I am currently viewing.
    It appears that once I have used that icon to add a bookmark there is nothing else I can do with that bookmark. 
    I have found no way to view a list of bookmarks. 
    I have found no way to quickly navigate back to that bookmark. 
    All I can do is touch the area at the top and bottom so as to display those
    top and bottom menus and then observe whether that tiny little icon has an even tinier check mark in it or not.
    Surely there must be something else I can do with a bookmark. 
    Why else would Adobe bother to actually write software for such a function if there wasn't anything to use it for? 
    Or perhaps this is an experimental new feature that hasn't been completed?
    Again, a manual that explained how to use this software would be useful.
    And if the function is experimental and not yet fully functional I am sure a good manual would point that out.

  • How do I bookmark in Adobe reader touch?

    How do I bookmark in adobe reader touch?  I have the surface pro.  When I swipe from the side I only have the search, share, start, devices and settings icons.

    Adobe Reader Touch does not support adding new custom/personalized bookmarks to pages yet.
    Currently, Adobe Reader Touch supports viewing pre-existing bookmarks that have been created by the author of a given PDF document. If a PDF document has bookmarks, Reader Touch shows the Bookmarks button on the right side of the top toolbar.
    The users of Adobe Reader for iOS/Android have requested the capability of adding new custom/personalized bookmarks as well.  We are planning to add the capability to a future release of Adobe Reader Touch. But we cannot commit to a specific date for the release at this point.

  • Unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10

    We are unable to open bookmarks in Adobe Reader 11 that were made in Adobe 10.
    The OS is Windows 7.
    Thanks for your help!

    Actually, my reply is clear as mud. I'll try again.
    If you link from H:\Drawings\System Drawings (Drawings by LOB's)\Network Services\Scada-Wan Drawings\_CAD Files
    to H:\Drawings\Site Dwgs\site name
    you will get a relative path of ..\..\..\..\..\Site Dwgs\site name.
    Clearly this will not work if you move the source file anywhere.
    You MUST do one of the following
    1. Force an abolute link by linking to a file on an entirely different disk.
    2. Maintain at all times the relative relationship between source and target (this doesn't necessarily mean working on live files, but requires COMPLETE coplies of development and live files, with links made within the development files only).

  • Can I add a bookmark when I using Adobe reader on my ipad?

    Can I add a bookmark when I using Adobe reader on my ipad?

    Hey Vicky,
    Using Adobe Reader on your iPAD, you cannot add new bookmarks.
    But, you can navigate bookmarks in the PDF added by the author.

  • Overriding Bookmark Zoom settings in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi.
    I work at a company that uses preset bookmarks to navigate very large Adobe files that are hundreds of pages in length. I have set my Page Display Zoom level at 75%, and have also checked the "Always use Zoom Setting" set at 75% in the Override Page Display section of the Accesibility menu as well. When I open a file, the initial zoom level reflects these settings. However, upon clicking on a bookmark in the navigation bar, the zoom level changes to the zoom level set for the bookmark. The override settings I set in Accessibility do not work on the bookmark settings, and I have to resize every time I click a bookmark. Is there a way in Adobe Reader XI to override these settings? Thank you!

    Hi again
    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
    disable in Internet Explorer 8.
    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
    the plugin.
    Another method is between the guide for accessibility
    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
    checkbox.
    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
    find the same assistant?
    Very thanks.
    Regards

  • PDF with Bookmarks View Open in Default Adobe Reader

    Have a basic question on Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader
    I have created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro and I can see the bookmarks view when I open on my computer.  When I have a user that has Adobe Reader installed, they do not see the default bookmarks view when they open the *.pdf.
    How do I accomplish this?
    Thanks -
    Todd

    OK - why are my bookmarks now showing in a seperate window? They used to be not in a seperate window!

  • Adober reader shows corrupted bookmarks of pdf files

    after upgrading to Mavericks if I open a pdf file with Adobe Reader it will be opened but the bookmarks are somehow corrupted:
    they are listed with a grey area besides it and with a big space to the next entry (see image).
    How can this be fixed?
    In previous Mac OS X version this wasn't a problem, but with Mavericks? .. seems like apple has changed something - and no one knows about it
    Example with Acrobat Reader:
    with Preview now the bookmarks are displayed (new in 10.9?) but otherwise scrolling through a pdf isn't as comfortable as with Adobe Reader:

    As a follow to the above, the problem was related to a file transfer.  The PDFs in question were being transfered from a Unix platform to a Windows Server.  The transfer was defaulting to ASCII or Text and not binary.  Apparently this was never an issue with older versions of Adobe Reader.  Once the transfer was switched to binary, Reader X was able to view the files with no missing pages.  Something was being stripped from the file that Reader X just didn't like.
