Hello, I have a pdf with 500 pg, with 100 markers created with the names and surnames that appear ...

My question is when I click on "PEREZ JUAN" goes to the page where it is, now it will be possible to "HIGHLIGHT THE PEREZ JUAN PLABRA" so that it is easier to locate where it is in the page?

looked like when I go to the "search" tool and highlights the word found

It's possible, but it would require attaching a script to each bookmark.

The problem with doing that (using a script) is that it overwrites any

existing command that's attached to it, so you would basically need to

re-do the entire bookmarks tree to achieve it. Also, the script would need

to "un-highlight" any other bookmarks, which might cause some delays in

using it. In short, I don't think it's worth the effort.

ok thank you very much, uuuuu I thought it was easier, the script can be downloaded from somewhere to show my partner that it can not be done?

The script will have to be custom-made. It's not something that exists and you can just download and install... Also, I never said it can't be done, just that it's not a simple task.
