If you're like me, you have a lot of PDF documents and read them. The issue is "where did I leave off?"
For a while, I just kept a text file and recorded the page number. That worked but was tedious and I sometimes forgot to update it. I read several PDF's at once because I"m a little ADD.
If you're like me, you need an easy and quick solution. Here it is: PDF Bookmarking.
It's easy and works great. NOTE: I use this but don't support and I didn't develop it.
1. Download and unzip the small file from http://www.pdfhacks.com/bookmark_page/. Copy it into your Acrobat Reader JavaScript’s directory. In my Win XP machine it is located at – C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Javascripts. On my Windows 7 machine it is locate here - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\Javascripts
Basically, find your Adobe Reader\Javascripts folder and drop the file there.
2. Next, just Open Adobe using any PDF file and check out the View menu.
Four new items are now visible under the menu at the bottom – Bookmark this page, Go to bookmark, Remove bookmark and Clear bookmarks. The numbers (5,6) next to the top two options refers to the keyboard shortcut keys.
3. The functions are pretty much self-explanatory. From the page you want to bookmark, click on Bookmark this page. The following box opens up and you can assign a name to the bookmark.
4. Clicking on Go to bookmark opens up a floating box and a click on each takes you to each successive bookmark you have set. You can bookmark as many numbers of pages as you want.
5. Remove bookmark allows you to remove a single bookmark and Clear bookmarks wipes out all the bookmarks in one go.
Note: For some PDF files, the hack works smoothly. In others, you might get an internal error notification. Right click on a page in the PDF file and click on Page Display Preferences. Under JavaScript, make sure the boxes on the right are checked as in the following screen.
I hope you find this as useful as I did.
