Hi, @PHK You sound like your feelings are hurt, and so you’re signing off. When I read that I feel disappointed. I meant no disrespect. I’m here to get support for a bug. You asked where “legitimate” fits in. I answered. @ David.P Walls of text? Shades of an Ad Hominem attack. Fallacy of Relevance. ...

@PHK You make it clear that PDFXCE's current "Bookmark" function does not meet your needs in that regard. You think lots of users need it like you. Over to the DevTeam. I am not sure where "legitimate" fits in, though. Regrettably, I have to say that you’ve missed the point again...

@PHK and @ TrackerSupp-Daniel I don't actually think I am "missing the point" and I agree that I am "using the Bookmarks to GET where" I want to be. In fact, I think that the point of Bookmarks is to GET where the user wants to be. Your desire to use Bookmarks for things they are...

Hi, Yes! @igolima has illustrated the exact thing I'm discussing.

Hi Stefan & David,

Seems like I'd need to edit every exiting bookmark? Am I right?

Going forward, is there a way to get every bookmark to have this top-focused behavior by default?

Further - any way to mass edit the existing bookmarks?

Sincerely,

SW

Hi Stefan,

THANKS! Here's an example. I bookmarked four words on different pages. Named bookmarks same thing as the words with the bookmarks, and used all CAPS:

Hi, Seems like bookmarks are attached to specific text / physical locations of the page. I've got a long book with a Table of Contents. I've converted that Table of Contents to bookmarks. Works well!

Hi,

Googled AND searched forum!

Somehow I can't find a built-in feature to convert PDF to .txt.

I can see I could go

But, just wondering if I'm missing something.

Hi Stefan, Got it. What about the SIDES of rectangles, and boxes. They all have to be the same color - all 4 sides? My thinking here was three sides white, one side another color?

Hi Stefan,

You wrote:

THIS IS CALCULATED FROM OTHER FONT METRICS AND AS SUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE TEXT ACTUALLY BEING UNDERLINED.

Is there any font that results in a more richly created underline?

And, for the line tool - any way to enable copying of text?

Pressing CTRL while scrolling the mouse wheel one can zoom in and out of a page.

Is there any way to define the increments of the scroll to a fixed value, for example 5%. So, each step of the wheel increases ONLY by that same increment each time?
