Question

Bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - how to make bookmarked title appear at top of screen

With regards to bookmarks in PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on an Apple computer (macbook), when I use headers in Microsoft Word and then convert the Word document to PDF, the headers are automatically converted to bookmarks in PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  The cool thing is when I click on the bookmark header, for example, "Title One", it shows that header at the top of the viewable screen even if the header/title may actually be located halfway down the page.  Clicking on the bookmark automatically shows the header/title at the top of the screen.  However, I am unable to duplicate that action when I create the bookmark directly from a PDF document in Adobe.

 

When  I create the bookmark directly in a PDF document, and I then click on the bookmark to take me the document page where the related header/title is located, it displays the header/title in the middle of the screen instead of at the top of the screen. 

 

How can I set up the bookmark in PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC so that when I click on the bookmark on the bookmark section, it displays the related bookmarked header/title at the top of the screen as opposed to the middle of the screen or just to the relevant page of the document?  Any suggestions.

When you create a bookmark in Acrobat using Ctrl+B it will automatically point to the exact location you were seeing when you created it, including zoom level, location on the page, etc. You can play with the view settings after the fact by going to the bookmark's properties, but it shouldn't be necessary.
