Creating table of content bookmarks allows your readers to click on an item in the table of contents to go directly to that section of the document. These instructions are for Adobe Acrobat Professional version 8 which is available in the Building 79 Computer Lab and CyberLounge, and in the eDesktop Virtual Computer Lab (available in MyUWF).

To perform these steps, you must have already written the table of contents in the Word document that you converted to PDF.

Steps:

1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Professional version 8.
   
   
2. From the Tools menu, select Advanced Editing, then Link Tool.
   
   
3. Your cursor should now appear as crosshairs indicating that the Link Tool is selected. Draw a box around the line in the table of contents for the section that you want to bookmark by dragging your cursor from the upper-left corner of the link area, to the lower-right corner of the link area.
   
    
   
   
4. After you draw the box, the Create Link pop-up window appears. Make sure the settings match those listed here, and then click Next.
   Link Type: Invisible Rectangle
   Highlight Style: None
   Link Action: Go to a page view
   
    
   
   
5. The box turns red and you see the Create Go to View pop-up window. Use the scrollbar to go to the appropriate section of the document, and then click the Set Link button.
   
    
   
   
6. Repeat Steps 3 - 5 until you have completed the entire table of contents.
   
   
7. When you are finished, click the hand icon to return to your normal PDF tools.
