Hi,

 

I've just found out there are two kinds of bookmarks.

 

One comes from highlight.

The other comes from selection.

 

Is there any difference?

 

When I see bookmarks on pdf, I see no difference between the two kinds of bookmarks.

Have a close look at the icons next to the text within the Bookmarks panel. The anchor icon represents a text bookmark that points to a specific piece of text while the page icon represents a page bookmark that points to a specific page.

Hi Hosun,

in essence there can be three* different destinations in bookmarks:

 

Hyperlink Text Destination

Points to text in the same document.

 

Hyperlink Page Destination

Points to a page in the same document.

 

Hyperlink External Page Destination

Points to a page in a different InDesign document.

 

There are three different icons for the three different destinations:

 

 

* For scripters: In DOM documentation there is a fourth destination listed and that is Page.

If I am using Page as destination the result can only be a Hyperlink Page Destination, a page in the same document as the added bookmark.

 

Regards,
