Bookmarks from Word

Bookmarks are a group of links pointing to their destinations – such as different page views, sections in the current document or to other documents. Selected word headings or styles can be converted to PDF bookmarks with a hierarchy of levels you decide, without disturbing the logical structure of the original Word document.

Bookmarks help readers to browse PDF documents easily, especially when reading a collection of documents.

Bookmark Conversion Settings

To control which Word document elements should be converted into bookmark, set or clear any of the following check boxes:

Bookmark - Paragraph Style - Level

All the Word headings and styles belonging to the current document are listed here. Choose the styles to be converted to bookmarks by selecting checkboxes in the Bookmark column.
 

Meaning of the checkbox:

Checked (selected): selected checkbox icon

Unchecked (de-selected): de-selected checkbox icon  

Decide a bookmark level (indent) for each style. Bookmarks are organized into a navigation tree with different levels – like the heading structure in Word documents. Select a bookmark, then click on the level number to modify it. The default is 1.

In the lower selection box, you can specify how to display the target page view: retain the source  page zoom rate, fit page, fit width, fit height, or fit visible.

 

Note

You can also choose to have bookmarks transferred from Microsoft Excel (one per sheet) and PowerPoint (one per slide).
