Hi,

Does anyone know how to insert a bookmark into a pdf? Then go back to it later?

Karen

Karen,

I just tried JAWS’s traditional placemarker setting in a PDF file, and they worked. For example, at the point where you want a temporary bookmark/placemarker, press control-Windows key-k. When you wish to return to that spot, press k, and you’ll be taken right there.

For permanent placemarker settings, press control-shift-k. After that, use your arrow and tab keys to view your choices.

Hi Karen,

You need to make them permanent using the steps outlined by Adrian. You can only have one temporary place marker at a time, so are not very useful just by themselves.

So it is better to make a permanent one and when I want one further down, delete the first one somehow and make another permanent one?

Actually, you can have as many permanent ones as you like. To add a second, or a third, etc., reopen the dialog and tab to “Add.” Press the spacebar, then tab through your options. Just keep in mind that if you have a lot on one document, you might defeat the convenience of placemarkers.

Hi Karen,

Don’t worry about deleting temporary placemarkers. Because temporary means you can only have one at a time, after you have created your first temporary placemarker, simply navigating elsewhere in the document makes that new place a new temporary placemarker and and the old one is no onger a placemarker.
