How to create folders to store/group related bookmarks in a PDF?

I've been trying to organize a muti-thousand page PDF with hundreds and hundreds of bookmarks someone else created then dumped on me. Have posted a few questions. Here's another.

 

The PDF already has some bookmarks "grouped"; i.e, there is a right pointing arrow to the left of a bookmark, and then bookmarks below that first one that are indented. When I click the arrow, the lower bookmards are hidden. So, USA might be the top bookmark, and under it Alabama, Alaska, Arizona and the rest of the states, then another bookmark called Canada, below which are bookmarks for each Canadian Provice. So I can expand or collapse USA, Canada, etc to see or hide their states, provinces, etc. 

 

I can't find anythign in Adobe that tells me how to do this. Can someone please explain? Very much appreciate your help. 

Thanks!

You can drag and drop bookmarks to rearrange them. When you get ready to drop a bookmark, it will indicate where it will be placed, and that gives you an indication about if it's being palced as a child element or a sibling of the preceding element. It takes a bit of practice to know exactly where you need to drop it to get the desired result. I would practice with a sampe document that just has a handful of bookmarks until you feel comfortable doing this with a larger document. Regardless of what you do, save your work often. You don't want to have to redo things just because something happened with your computer or with Acrobat.

Hi Karl, thanks for info. I'm was primarily trying to figure out how to "group" related bookmarks together so I could hide or expand them as needed (since my document has hundreds of bookmarks). 

 

Afte I posted my question, I realized/discovered that I can click and drag a bookmark so it is under another bookmark and indented. Then Pro shows a arrow to the left of the upper bookmark. When I click on that arrow, the idented bookmark(s) below are hidden. 

 

But it is sometimes hard to drag a bookmark(s) over so they are indented. Is there a way to do that using the bookmark menu instead? 

 

Thanks!

This can be a notoriously tedious task, as the mouse /pointer position must be extremely precise.   For me, the trick is to really watch the screen.  When indention, drag the bookmarks and watch for the insertion point to be visible before releasing the mouse button.  Also,  take advantage of the ability to select multiple bookmarks at once when moving/indenting.
