What's a PDF bookmark?

Bookmarks (also called outline) are the navigation tree on the left of a PDF reader. They jump to specific pages or sections — essential for long documents.

Can I add bookmarks to a PDF that has none?

Yes. Type the bookmark name and pick a page; we add it to the outline tree.

Can I create nested bookmarks?

Yes — drag a bookmark under another to nest it. Two levels of nesting are supported now.

Yes. The PDF is read and rewritten in your browser.
