Why Adobe's Bookmarks features are ridiculous and useless

New Here ,
Jan 04, 2025 Jan 04, 2025

So, I have two issues here. First, I have organized a document with 200 pages with individual bookmarks. In doing so, I noticed that the person that sent it to me, did not organnize them correctly. Imagine, pages 1-2-3, but page 2 is last (but again, this is 200 pages we're talking about). I organized the bookmarks but alas, Adobe DOES NOT OFFER A WAY for the pages to magically reorient to the order in which I have placed the bookmarks. WHY?  Based on my review of the forums, people want this feature. 

 

The second issue is, I need to PRINT sections of the document (or actually, specific pages out of order - See Issue No. 1!) and KEEP THE BOOKMARKS. But no. Adobe does not keep the bookmarks when printing to PDF. For God's sake, WHY? WHY don't you offer this function? And no , I am not downloading unsafe materials as a plugin for a subscription I pay dearly for.

Hi,

I understand your frustration. Currently, Adobe doesn't offer an automatic way to reorder pages based on bookmarks, which can be a pain with large documents. Bookmarks are just for navigation and don't affect the page order, so you'll need to manually adjust the page order yourself. As for printing, Adobe doesn't preserve bookmarks when printing to PDF because they aren't part of the content itself. This is a common issue, and while it’s not ideal, hopefully, Adobe will improve this functionality in the future.

Hope this helps!
