Please imagine bookmarks in a tree structure organized at the part, chapter, section, and subsection levels. If there are a large number of bookmark items, you can improve the overall view by collapsing items below a certain level.
For now, the bookmark tree's contracted (expand/collapse or open/close) state is saved exactly as it is when the file is saved. Even if a bookmark is only temporarily expanded for browsing purposes, if a comment is added and then saved, the bookmark tree is saved exactly as it was at that time.
For example, if both of the following bookmark pane options are enabled, bookmarks will be automatically expanded after a page is moved, even if the bookmark pane is not operated at all. This is completely intentional up to this point, since that is what these settings are for.
- Ensure Visibility of Corresponding Bookmark
- Automatically Expand Bookmarks
- [00:00]-[00:09] Open the sample file with bookmarks for each part, chapter, section, and subsection and go to page 24.
- [00:09]-[00:19] Save the file after adding comments.
- [00:19]-[00:24] Reopen the file after closing the application.
- [00:24]-[00:31] Activate the above two options in the bookmarks pane.
- [00:31]-[00:36] When you navigate to page 24, the bookmarks in the subsection corresponding to the page you passed will automatically expand.
- [00:36]-[00:46] Save after adding a comment.
- [00:46]-[00:53] When you close the application and reopen it, you will see that the bookmark is partially expanded.
This kind of usage does not seem to be possible with PDF-XChange Editor or Acrobat at the moment, but if anyone knows of any settings, I would appreciate it if you could let us know. If it does not exist, I hope you will consider this feature.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
