Open PDF file with Bookmarks Showing

(Karen_Little) Oct 7, 2008 6:26 AM

Hi - forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but I can't find a topic called "how to use Acrobat"

I need to create a PDF that will open in Acrobat Reader with the bookmarks displayed. The file will be distributed as a PDF and will not be associated with a web page.

And, if everything was perfect, I'd like that file to be open at 100% instead of the current 150%.

Is there a way to set this up?

Karen

You don't need a script for this. Go to File, Document Options, Open Options (the name may differ slightly depending on your version) and there you can set all of these properties.

That does it! Is there a way to make that a default setting?

How do you mean? Like for all files?

Good morning. I was researching this same issue and found a solution for Adobe 9 Standard. I went into File > Properties > Inital View tab. On the first line, it says "Navigation tab:" I selected "Bookmarks Panel and Page" from the drop-down selection. Save your file, of course. Now, whenever someone opens this file, the bookmarks will show on the left side of the page and the document to the right.
