View and add PDF bookmarks

A clickable table of contents

Up to 200 MB at a time. On a phone, large documents take longer and need more memory.

Keep the original. Editing a PDF can invalidate a digital signature, and special features, forms and bookmarks may not carry over to the new file.

Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

PDF bookmarks are the headings in the side panel of a PDF reader; click one and you jump to that page. Here you can see the existing ones and write a new list, one line each: page number, a vertical bar, then the title. Saving replaces the old list with a single flat level. The pages themselves don't change.

How it works

On a UK or US keyboard the vertical bar is Shift plus the backslash key. The page number has to exist in the document, or the tool tells you which line is wrong. Press “Save PDF” when the list is ready.

Worked example

The staff handbook runs to 40 pages and has no contents page, so finding anything is a chore. Type three lines:
1 | General terms
9 | Working hours
23 | Annual leave
After saving, those headings sit in the side panel and take you straight to each section.

Questions people ask

Does this add a contents page?

No. Bookmarks show in the reader's side panel, not on the page itself.

What happens to nested bookmarks?

The preview shows them, but saving creates a new flat list. If you need the old structure, keep the original.

How do I remove all bookmarks from a PDF?

Clear the box and save a new copy. The pages stay exactly the same.

Why can't I see the bookmarks after saving?

Many readers hide the side panel by default. In Adobe Reader, open the bookmarks icon on the left; in Chrome, open the outline from the menu at the top left of the viewer.
