Specifying Opening View
By default a PDF file opens with only the Document pane displayed. Many people do not know the
bookmarks navigation even exists, or are not aware how to display the pane. Show your users the
navigation provided by configuring the way the document opens. The document opening view you specify
is not in effect until you save, close, and then reopen the document again.
To specify that a document should display the Bookmarks pane when it opens, follow these steps:
1. Choose File > Document Properties to open the Document Properties dialog box and click the Initial
View tab (Figure 9.2).
2. Click the Show drop-down arrow and choose Bookmarks.
3. Click the Magnification drop-down arrow and choose a zoom factor for the document.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box and save the file.
Figure 9.2 Set the view displayed when the document opens
After saving and reopening the file, the Bookmarks are shown with the Document pane displayed
according to the specified magnification.
Specifying a View for Other Pages
Sometimes the creator does not want the bookmarks to open when the document opens to the initial page.
You can set the bookmarks to open with another page by using an action. Although bookmarks default to
showing the first page of a document at a specific magnification, you can add a great number of different
actions to the bookmark that are triggered in response to activities such as a user's mouse click.
In this example, viewing the second page of the document triggers the execution of a menu item that
displays the Bookmarks pane.
