Adobe Acrobat XI Pro-Bookmarks: After creating the bookmarks,
how do I edit it such that each bookmark ends at a certain page and you are
force to go back to the book mark to get to the next bookmarked section? (for
example, if there is a bookmark for chapter 1 and chapter 2.  I want to set up the bookmarks in such a way,
that the reader clicks on chapter 1 and only sees chapter 1 pages and can’t
keep paging down to see chapter 2. If the reader wants to see chapter 2, they
would have to click on the bookmark for chapter 2.)

If you want a booked marked item to cover a set area of the PDF, then look at making an "article" and having the bookmark open that named article.

gkaiseril, is this similar to what try67 mentioned? i'm not that familiar with "making an article".  I tried googling it but didn't come up with anything.  I have over 20 individual pdfs section that I had combine into one file.  Then I created bookmarks for each sections, I didn't see any features in the pdf that will allow me to create a bookmark such that it only cover a set area.  Can you please advise on the steps? Thanks.

It's not possible to do that with a regular PDF. What you can do is create a file with just a cover page and the bookmarks, and set the bookmarks to open other PDF files which are attached to the main one (basically, like a Portfolio). That way they would need to click the bookmark to access each part of the file (or they could access it directly via the Attachments panel).

i'm a little unfamiliar with "setting the bookmarks to open other pdf files which are attached to the main one".  How do you go about doing that? thanks.
