One Click Acrobat Bookmark Tip for e-Filings

• Standard

Did you know that Acrobat will automatically create bookmarks for each document that you combine into a PDF Binder? Any bookmark contained within these documents also will be included in the bookmarks for the overall combined file. This auto-feature can be extremely useful when preparing your e-filings as many courts now require that e-filings include bookmarks. Auto-bookmarking your e-filings takes one simple click when using Acrobat DC Pro’s “Combine” tool.

2. Click on the blue ADD FILES button to access your desktop files.
3. Select the files to be included in your e-filing. Click OPEN to add each to the COMBINE FILES tool
4. Drag and drop or use the MOVE UP arrow and MOVE DOWN arrow to re-order the files as needed.
5. Click on the OPTIONS gear icon. The OPTIONS popup box displays.
6. Check mark the box to “Always add bookmarks to Adobe PDF”
7. Deselect the option to “Save as PDF Portfolio”
8. Deselect the option to “Continue combining if error occurs”
9. Click OK. Acrobat combines the files into a PDF Binder.
10. Save the PDF Binder with the appropriate name for your e-filing.

Click on the bookmark icon in the left panel. A list of bookmarks for the e-filing display. Each document combined into the Binder will be bookmarked. Any bookmarks contained in these documents will be listed as well.

Combining documents into the PDF Binder enables you to  auto-bookmark as well as re-order the document pages as necessary and link between pages within your e-filing.
