Moving bookmarks, printing bookmark outline

I'd like to use my bookmark hiearchy as an outline. Unfortunately, I cannot move the various subheadings around, or at least not entirely. For example, I get that to nest one heading under another, you simply drag and drop it under the heading you wish it to nest around. Great. Works fine. But I am unable to move one heading from a nest level up to the next level. In other words, I can move it in (or under, if you prefer) but not out (or up). The adobe professional help menu suggests you can do this with the arrow, but if so, I am unable to do so. Dragging it "out" doesn't work. Frankly, it would be easier if there were keyboard commands to do this.
This leads to the second question. To effectively use the bookmarking heiarchy as an outline, it would be very useful to be able to print it out, save it to other applications and the like. As near as I can tell, this isn't possible. Apparently, there is a print function that allows printing of the outline and the affected highlighted pages but not just the outline itself. Is that correct?
Any general help on the use of the bookmarks as an outline would be helpful, as well as any specific thoughts on the two issues described above. Thanks.

Moving bookmarks up should work just fine... But you will need to have the sub-tree you want to move them to already open.
There are some scripts floating around for exporting the bookmarks structure in various formats. I had created one that can export it to PDF or plain-text TXT files, and also has the option to include the page numbers the bookmarks are pointing to, as well as indentation based on the hierarchy. Others have created similar tools.
Which version of Acrobat are you using, by the way?
PS - I totally agree that there should be keyboard shortcuts for moving bookmarks around...

How to print bookmark into a PDF File?

Hi community
I have a PDF-File with a few pages and need to have on each page the bookmark printed as a text.
I tried with Javascript, and can print the filename but not yet the bookmarks.
I have following script:
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Print Filename", cParent:"File", nPos:20, cExec:"PrtFN();"});
//Print Filename to Pages
function PrtFN()
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
 var fd = this.addField("Print Bookmark", "text", p, [563,519,790,545]);
 fd.fillColor=color.white;
 fd.textSize=14;
 fd.textColor=color.red;
 fd.value = (this.documentFileName);
Do someone of you know how to print the bookmarks, something like "fd.value = (this.documentBookmark);" ?
Thanks for helpful answers!

It is possible to get a bookmark name from the bookmark object but as noted a reverse lookup for a bookmark to a given page is not fool proof.
You could write a script that walks the bookmark tree and then use execute to go to the page that book mark points too and then fill-in the bookmark name. This assumes all bookmarks perform the go to page/view action and do not run a script or open another PDF. You may also need to account for more than one bookmark pointing to a page.

Moving Large Safari Bookmarks Folder

Anyone else with this problem.
Using Safari on Mavericks. Trying to use Safari > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks to move a large folder to new location in my Bookmarks Menu folder. I don't have a problem moving smallish folders. But, when I try to move the large folder (i.e., drag and drop), Safari fails and quits respoding (force quit becomes necessary) if I try to move it anywhere except the top of my Bookmarks Menu folder or into another folder therein. Any solutions/thoughts?
I am not interested in spliting the folder. I can handle things more or less successfully by moving the folder out of my Bookmarks Menu folder. But, I don't like this solution.

I dont see an Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari folder in my windows drive.
I think I may have meant to say the bookmarks are being placed on my Dell pc

Printing bookmarks

What is procedure to print bookmark menu?
It is extremely difficult to find the post a message section to click. Why don't they just have a simple
post a message icon to click? Mac is much harder to figure out than Windows when trying to locate
items for a beginner. I looked for copy but no where does it inform you that it's print. Even the how
to books on Leopard make it difficult to look up a subject in the index unless you know the exact
terminology. They could put a simple cross reference page in the book listing the computer name for
the common name. Is there such a cheat sheet on the web?

I'm guessing that English is not your primary language, so I'm trying to understand what you mean, not what you say, but I'm not sure I understand your question at all. Was it only one question or many questions?
Could you re-ask your question? Start from the beginning. What program are you using? What are you trying to do? If you have more than one question, it is a good idea to start a new paragraph for each question so that the person trying to help you can sort it out.
Please leave out any comparisons to any other operating system, or how you did things on a different computer. They are worthless references and won't solve your problem.
While it has always been true that many help menu's and tutorials tend to speak in a technical way, the help you receive here can be adjusted to your computer skills, so please try again.

Bookmarks in bookmarks bar cannot be edited or deleted permanently?

All my bookmarks in the bookmarks bar. I want to move them all so they are just in bookmarks menu dont want anything in bookmarks bar. I have edited renamed moved the bookmarks from bookmarks bar without a problem until I quite safari. Once I reopen safari all changes I made disappear and it reverts back to original with all bookmarks on bookmarks bar.
So frustrated, what am I doing wrong that i cannot make permanent changes to my bookmark bar on Safari 5.1.3?

Hi Remy,
Might be corrupted Safari preferences (.plist)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cace.db file to the Trash.
Tip ... disabling the Lion "resume" feature can prevent Safari from "caching" web content which seems to be causing Lion users problems.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

Is there a way to print an outline of your keynote that fits the whole page?

I want to be able to just print the outline notes for my keynote. When I go to print and choose outline, the outline appears, but it is very small and only takes up the left side of the paper. I want the outline to fit the whole printed page.

Cannot Right Click on Bookmarks (in Bookmarks Toolbar) if they are "Inside a folder" or under "Show more bookmarks" in OS X

I tried to right click on bookmarks in "Bookmarks Toolbar" which are "Inside a folder" or under "Show more bookmarks" to delete or rename them but nothing happened! like i didn't right click at all
but if a bookmark in Bookmarks Toolbar is not in a folder and is not under show more bookmarks its ok and i can right click o manage it
Now to delete a bookmark inside a folder i have to drag it outside and then right click and delete it or use bookmarks library, which is really annoying, shouldn't we be able to right click on bookmarks inside folders and delete them there?
Is there any shortcut key for example holding command and clicking to rename or delete a bookmark until this bug is fixed?

@jscher2000
Yea that works, i'm already doing that, but its really annoying if you want to rename or delete a bookmark you have to open bookmarks library and then find the bookmark there, then delete or rename it, i find the dragging way a little faster
I don't think this is going to be fixed soon, so im looking for a way to rename and delete bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar
I think many have this problem too i have also created a topic here:

Exported Safari Bookmarks (Safari bookmarks.html) arrive in MyDocuments but not in Firefox, how to get them into Firefox Bookmarks?

Five months ago, I imported my Firefox bookmarks into Safari. In that time, I have added many bookmarks to many of the bookmark folders in Safari. Now, I am trying to import back into Firefox all of the existing Safari bookmark folders including the added bookmarks. Tried exporting from Safari using File, Export Bookmarks, which does get them into MyDocuments\Safari bookmarks.html, but I am unable to get them into Firefox where they would enable me to uninstall Safari and free up some room on my hard drive. Maybe they are there in Firefox, but need to Find them?

Did you import the HTML file?
* Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"
Bookmarks that you import are usually appended at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder. 
If you do not see them there then try to use the search bar to see if they show up. 
If that also doesn't show them then it is likely that something went wrong with importing the bookmarks. 
Does that file display correctly if you open it via "File > Open File" in a Firefox tab?

Certain files contain the current bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar and and could be copied into firefox on another computer. I found these files but they only have my old bookmarks, not my current ones.

In the past, there were certain files in the "Local Settings" and "Application Data" folders that contain my current Bookmarks and current Bookmarks Toolbar contents. I have been able to copy these files to a jumpdrive then use it to bring my CURRENT bookmarks and boomarks toolbar to Firefox on a different computer. When I attempt to do the same now, I get my bookmarks from 2 years ago and nothing at all on my bookmarks toolbar. I have successfully done this as recently as this past February. What happened to them and why can I not do this anymore?
I NEED to have these bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar on my other computers. I do NOT want them uploaded to YOUR servers to be able to do this. The whole reason I use Firefox is to avoid using M$ for the very same reason you are now trying to force on your faithful users. This has been a huge factor for most of us to use Firefox, to get away from IE.

If you have access to Firefox on that computer then export the bookmarks to an HTML file. 
Otherwise you need the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup. 
Note that this will replace all current bookmarks, so in order to keep these you need to export them to an HTML file and reimport that file after you have restored the JSON backup.

How to get back default bookmarks and bookmarks toolbars?

I would like to get back my default bookmarks and those bookmarks on the toolbar.
Where can I find a file with all the default bookmarks for Safari v4.0.5?

What I mean is the bookmarks that you got when you installed Safari for the first time.
Okay. The following procedure will restore your bookmarks to their default state.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
(7) Go Start > Computer.
(8) In Computer open Local Disk C:
(9) Open the Users folder.
(10) Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which you want to have default bookmarks showing for your Safari.
(11) Open the AppData folder.
(12) Open the Roaming folder.
(13) Open the Apple Computer folder.
(14) Open the Safari folder.
(15) Drag the Bookmarks plist file out onto your desktop.
Now launch Safari. That should rebuild the Bookmarks plist file, and you'll be seeing the default bookmarks and Bookmarks bar settings.

I wasn to save my bookmarks in bookmark tab instead of unsorted bookmarks by default. What to do?

Currently all my bookmarks are being saved in unsorted bookmarks bu default. I want to save my bookmarks in bookmark tab (as in google chrome) by default. what is to be done?

One click on the star button adds a bookmark in the unsorted bookmarks, as you say. Clicking the button again, though, will open a panel that lets you edit the bookmark. In this, you can select the bookmarks folder you want to move the new bookmark to.
If you always want to do that, you can just double-click the button.

I need to know when a bookmark, I bookmarked was created...

Thanks

You can make the Added column visible in the Library (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) if you right click the header bar in the right pane in the Library or use "Views > Show Columns"
