Hi all,

 

I'm facing an unexpected behaviour with bookmark pane in acrobat. 

 

When I open the bookmark pane to navigate the document content, once I click on any bookmarks to reach the doument destination it will close the bookmark pane.

@Giovanni22846570mald there is a setting in the Bookmark options called "Hide After Use." Just open the Bookmarks pane on the left side. At the top of the Bookmarks pane, click the icon (as shown and the downward arrow). Look for the entry Hide After Use and go to uncheck it. Once unchecked, the pane should remain open even after you click various bookmarks.
