Bookmarks

[kennetht41138728]

I only use Acrobat occasionally and really am not familiar
with it's functionality except for viewing .pdf files so that makes me a
beginner user. I always have the latest version installed, in this case Ver.
17.012.20095 & W7.

However, I recently found the need to load a few .pdf files
and bookmark them and would like to come up with a method that will work with
any file I may want to bookmark in the future.

I am running into two problems:

1 - Some files I load do not show the Bookmark Button and
there is nothing in the menus that hints on how to show it. It seems to be
related to the program that produced the .pdf file.  What is the simplest way to bookmark such
files?

2 - When I highlight text and try to bookmark it, I seem to
be channeled to view/Tools/edit and It seems that Edit is an add-on. Is edit
required?

Am I even on the right track? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to do this in the free Acrobat Reader instead of the paid for Acrobat? You can't.

I love forums! Yes, I was using the free reader. Thanks.

- If you're using Reader and there are no bookmarks in the file you opened it will not display the Bookmarks Panel, as that would be useless.

- You need Acrobat to be able to add or edit bookmarks. The free Reader can't do it.
