Overview The Bookmarks feature set provides the ability to add, edit, build, replace, delete and sort bookmarks across one or more PDF files. The tool allows users make almost any PDF file more usable and easier to navigate. The Bookmarks feature set has been built to save time creating and managing bookmarks. By allowing users to import and export build settings, bookmark trees and by providing batch processing functionality, users can process and update large collections of PDFs with a minimum of time and effort. Additionally, it has been engineered to work with the Productivity feature set, making it even easier to quickly access and run commonly used bookmark processes. | CONTENTS | INDEX | Page 64 of 155 ARTS PDF Aerialist User Guide Bookmarks 5. 2.

Bookmark Features A brief rundown of each function has been provided below. All these functions can be automatically performed across multiple documents using Batch Processing. See the Batch Processing section for more information. | CONTENTS | INDEX | Page 65 of 155 ARTS PDF Aerialist User Guide Bookmarks If you wish to automate and customize Bookmark functions even more, or create toolbar buttons that perform custom Bookmark jobs, read the section on Using Bookmark Commands. 5. 2. 1. 1. Add Bookmarks Use the Add Bookmarks feature to create a set of user-defined bookmarks; save your set of bookmarks using the Import/Export functionality so you can reuse them in batch processes. 5. 2. 1. 2. Find Bookmarks Use the Find Bookmarks feature to delete or replace only the bookmarks that match the search criteria you specify; once you have entered the content to search for, Find Bookmarks scans the bookmark text of all of the PDF files you have selected and updates them based on the text and properties changes you have specified. 5. 2. 1. 3. Build Bookmarks Use the Build Bookmarks feature to automatically generate bookmarks based on the font styles and layout used in your PDFs. After setting the desired combination of attributes for a bookmark to be generated, the Bookmark feature can quickly scan one or more PDF files to build the bookmarks for each document. Additionally, you can save your Build Bookmarks settings by using the Import/Export functionality so you can reuse them to process large collections of PDF files. 5. 2. 1. 4. Delete Bookmarks Delete Bookmarks allows the user to simply delete all the bookmarks contained in the selected PDF file(s). This is a much easier way then having to manually highlight all of the bookmarks and then delete them ­ especially if you need to do this across multiple files. 5. 2. 1. 5.

It has the flexibility to order all bookmarks or a selected range of bookmarks in ascending or descending order. | CONTENTS | INDEX | Page 66 of 155 ARTS PDF Aerialist User Guide Bookmarks 5. 3.
