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 retiring Forms Central on July 28, 2015. I would like to know what other alternatives Adobe offers.

    Adobe Reader cannot create PDF docs of any kind; you would need Acrobat for that.

    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.

  • How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs?

    How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs

    Provided you only want to go one way, you can change a bookmark to fire the "open a file" action. I 'm not sure you entirely understand the terminology though - bookmarks in a PDF file appear on the left side panel and usually take you to a defined page in the current document. They are not part of the page and so don't change as you move through the file. Links are regions on a particular page that act as click points, and can do pretty much anything (move to a different page, open a file, etc.). Although you can use bookmarks to do something other than switch pages, it's very rare to do so and won't necessarily be supported by third-party software (or obvious to your users).
    If you want to create a bookmark to another document, and both files are going to be distributed together (in the same folder) then you can create a new bookmark (doesn't matter where in the source file you are..) then select it and from the options menu choose Properties. Switch to the Actions tab and delete the "go to a page" entry, then from the dropdown list choose "Open a file" and browse to your destination document.
    If your destination file is an attachment to your source file, you should use the "Go to page view" action, and when the tiny dialog box appears you should open the attachment, then click the OK button.

  • How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?

    How do I view XMP metadata in Adobe Reader?
    I've created a PDF which (I believe) includes XMP metadata, and I'd obviously like to check that it's been done correctly.  However it's not obvious how to view this within Adobe Reader (I'm using 11.0.04 on OS X).  Googling around, I've found an off-hand remark that Reader isn't able to do this, but this is obviously insane -- what's the point of licensing metadata if no-one can see it?  What is it I'm missing?
    Best wishes,
    Norman

    I've put a PDF at http://nxg.me.uk/temp/part1.pdf This does display/print perfectly OK in both Reader and in OS X Preview.  I presume that the /Root object (254) is inside one of the ObjStm streams (yes?), as (presumably) are the /Page streams and the reference to the /Metadata object, 52.
    Regarding scanning, Part 3 of the XMP spec, Sect 1.2 says "It is always best to use format-aware file parsing when possible. Lacking this information, applications can find XMP packets by scanning the file."  Also, in Sect. 1.2.1, "A file should be scanned byte-by-byte until a valid header is found."   Finally, ISO-32000-1 Sect. 14.3.2, Note 3, says "[The XMP spec] includes a method to embed XML data within non-XML data files in a platform-independent format that can be easily located and accessed by simple scanning rather than requiring the document file to be parsed."  So it would appear that this metadata packet _should_ be found.

  • How to delete recent file history in adobe reader in Mac PC ?

    How to delete recent file history in Adobe Reader in Mac PC ?
    In Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - select Documents in the left panel and change the "Documents in recently used list" to 0. Yes ! the file history is gone But when you set back the value, you will see the file history again. This is not the way to do...
    I have checked all the preference or setting. I couldn't found any clear recent file history in adobe reader.
    Please help ! Thanks !

    First off, you CANNOT set recent documents to zero. The absolute minimum it will accept is 1. And on my MacMini, (I just checked it to be 100% sure) I opened seven documents with Recent Docs set to 10 - they were ALL listed. I set it to 1 and all but the most recent cleared. I then closed Reader and reopened it. The list was 1 item. I reset Recent Docs to 10 and there was still only 1 item in the list.

  • How do I save a pdf in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)?

    Does anyone know how to save a pdf now from Adobe Reader?  If I try to save now it gives me the option of either save to online account or to Acrobat.com but neither of those work when I want to attach the pdf to an e-mail.  The only place I can see the pdf is on the Mac that I'm working from.  It cannot be accessed by anybody I send it to despite them all having Adobe Reader.  I'm sure this wasn't the way it was before and this is driving me insane now.  So many hours spent on what should be a really simple task
    Thanks

    I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
    PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
    This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
    Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

    There is no way to automate this in the Acrobat SDK.  If you need to automate Reader Enablement, you need another product – LiveCycle Reader Extension Server.
