Bookmarks view always disappears when adding or replacing pages in Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017

[Thies_68]

Hallo dear forum members.

I often have to create and edit pdf documents in order to provide corresponding documentation for the construction of devices or modules in the area of network technology and I mainly work with the tools insert page, replace page and delete page and also have to create appropriate bookmarks for the individual pages. To create the bookmarks for the added pages I usually am using the corresponding button in the bookmarks view opened in the navigation window.

Unfortunately, when inserting or replacing pages, the page miniature view always opens, but I don't need it at all for editing. So I always have to reactivate the bookmark view again to be able to continue editing, which means a certain amount of extra work and admittedly really annoys me.

In earlier versions of the Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Professional software, this constant change to the page miniature view was not the case in my opinion.

I think I've searched all possible places and menus for appropriate setting options for the view and in particular, of course, for the navigation window by now, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything.

Does anyone know if this navigation pane behavior can be changed in any way?

With all the steps backwards with regard to the individual setup of the tools as well as the general ease of use and accessability of view options with the newer versions of the Acrobat software. So I would not really be surprised if the switching behavior of the navigation window view is not adjustable at all.

I would really appreciate any further information on my customizing problem.

How does you add or replace pages?

Hello Bernd,

I have customized the toolbar for the quick tools so that I can use this single bar to access all the tools that are important for me, because I am not satisfied with the assignment of the individual tools to the various tool groups at all and also the constant change to the currently required group and the associated contextual view is extremely inconvenient for me.

But in general, of course, it shouldn't make any difference in wich way you activate the individual tools. The only difference is that when you use the toolbar of the "Edit Page" tool, the view switches immediately to the page miniature view when you choose this tool.

To be clear, I create PDF documentation for the assembly and installation of components and not for the their construction. Unfortunately, I hadn't properly checked the translator's work here. I'm not an engineer or anything like that.

Thanks for your for your commitment, Bernd.
