Creating An Outline / Bookmarks in PDF Creator Plus
You can create your own outline for a PDF file by using the Annotation tool bar found in PDF Creator Plus.
Let say you have printed a Word document, Excel spreadsheet and a PowerPoint file to PDF Creator Plus to merge together into a single PDF file, but you would also like to have a table of contents, so users can jump to the start of each of the files in the merged PDF file.
This can easily be done in the PDF Creator Plus project screen when using the tools found on the Annotation tool bar.
Steps For Creating Table of Contents
- Print each of your files to PDF Creator Plus in the order to appear in the PDF file.
