PDF Creator Plus 8

 Productivity Tips - PDF Bookmarks

The outline information, or the headings, in PDF Creator Plus are used to create the Bookmarks tab in Adobe Acrobat when creating PDF files.

Headings

Headings in PDF Creator Plus are like the headings in Microsoft® Word that make up the Table of Contents. Like Microsoft Word, PDF Creator Plus headings also have a level specification from one to nine. All headings in the project are listed under the Headings section of the Outline tab in the Navigation view. Headings can be set with a magnification option which allows you to set what zoom level of the page to use when the heading is brought into view.

Bookmarks

A bookmark can be thought of as a named location. It is used to jump to a specific location in the document by referencing it by name from another location, usually a hyperlink within the document. Bookmarks are listed under the Bookmarks section of the Outline tab in the Navigation view. Like headings, bookmarks can also be set with a magnification option which allows you to set what zoom level of the page to use when the bookmark is brought into view.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are links to external files, web pages, or to named locations within the document such as a heading or bookmark. When a PDF file is created from the project, clicking within the area will perform the hyperlink action. You can make almost every PDF Creator Plus annotation tool into a hyperlink area.

Creating Outline Information

Outline information can be created in two ways:

manually using the Bookmark annotation tool, and hyperlink information created with the Hyperlink annotation tool.

automatically generated from a Microsoft® Word Document using the PEERNET Save As PDF 8.0 Add-In. PDF Creator Plus projects created using the add-in preserve hyperlinks, styles, and bookmarks present in the original Word document.

Headings are shown outlined with a red dotted rectangle, bookmarks with a green one and hyperlinks with blue. These rectangles are only visible on the screen to make it easier to see where the headings, bookmarks and hyperlinks are; they are not included when the page is printed or used to create a PDF, TIFF or other type of file.
