Bookmark Icons

@AnandSri 

- Like Dave Creamer of IDEAS I have never noticed any icon change in bookmarks depending on their use. Whether it's go to view, change the zoom level, run a JavaScript, open a web link, etc., it doesn't change the icon.

This article contains no information about these two types of bookmark icons.

- In addition, in the section devoted to page thumbnails this article contains incorrect information:

"Note: Acrobat no longer supports embedding and unembedding page thumbnails. However, Acrobat Distiller® provides an alternate method of embedding page thumbnails."

 

Hello Julie!

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

These two icons in Adobe Acrobat's Bookmarks pane represent different types of bookmark entries:

Top Icon (Plain Bookmark): This is the standard bookmark icon, usually created manually by the user via Ctrl + B or Right-click > Add Bookmark in the Bookmarks pane. It points to a specific view or section of the document and has no associated actions beyond navigation.

Bottom Icon (Bookmark with Script/Action): This icon indicates a bookmark that includes additional actions or a script, such as JavaScript actions, Page navigation with zoom presets, Links to external files or websites, form submission, or multimedia triggers.

It’s visually distinguished to alert users that the bookmark does more than just take you to a page. 

This typically indicates a structured or hierarchical bookmark. It is often part of an outline or table of contents within the document, helping you organize and navigate complex documents more efficiently.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
