Bookmarking No Longer Uses Highlighted Text

New Here ,
Apr 17, 2023 Apr 17, 2023

Hello,

 

I have recently run into the issue where creating a bookmark no longer uses highlighted text. 

 

Prior to this issue, selecting text in a document and then using ctrl+b or right clicking and selecting add bookmark would create a bookmark named after the selected text.

 

Recently, Acrobat has stopped doing this and now names every new bookmark "untitled" regardless of what I have selected.

 

Please let me know how to revert this so that bookmarks go back to being named after the selected text.

I just discovered that you first have to do CTRL+C and then do CTRL+B without deselecting the text to create the bookmark with the selected text.

Follow up: Selecting text and right-clicking on Add Bookmark works!

I am also unable to use the previous command Ctrl+B or right click and select "Add Bookmark". The only thing that works for me is to highlight the text and then do Ctrl+C, Ctrl+B, and then Ctrl+V.

 

Acrobat - please bring back the Ctrl+B function and right-click "Add Bookmark" - it made our lives so much easier!

I noticed that when you unpin bookmarks when you right click the status bar allows you to name bookmarks with the highlighted text or copied text.

Unpin bookmarks from where? It won't let me remove it from the side panel.
