Organize a bookmark hierarchy
A bookmark hierarchy is an outline or stratified structure that places some bookmarks
within others. In Foxit PDF Editor, multilevel bookmark hierarchy can be defined by
properly dragging the bookmark icon in the Bookmark panel.
To nest a bookmark or move a bookmark out of nested position, please refer to Move
a bookmark.
To expand or collapse a bookmark
In a bookmark hierarchy, to expand a bookmark (a parent bookmark with child
bookmarks) and show the child bookmarks, directly click the plus sign (+) next to the
parent bookmark. Click the minus sign (-) to collapse the parent bookmark and hide
its child bookmarks. To collapse all bookmarks, right-click any bookmark in the
Bookmarks panel (or click the Options menu at the top of the Bookmarks panel)
and choose Expand/ Collapse All Bookmarks. When no bookmarks are expanded in
the Bookmarks panel, you can right-click any bookmark (or click the Options menu
at the top of the Bookmarks panel) and choose Expand/ Collapse All Bookmarks to
expand all bookmarks.
Export and import bookmarks
Foxit PDF Editor supports exporting and importing bookmarks. You may need to
export bookmarks from your document to share the bookmarks with others who have
a copy of a document without the bookmarks (or with an old version of the
bookmarks). Or if your document is too large, you need to export and delete the
bookmarks from the document, and then send the document (without bookmarks)
and its bookmarks separately to others. Then users who receive the bookmarks can
import the bookmarks to their documents.
To export bookmarks, follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF document that contains the bookmarks you want to export.
2. Select the bookmarks you want to export in the Bookmarks panel.
3. Click the Options menu in the upper-left corner of the panel (or right-click the
selected bookmarks) and choose Export Selected Bookmarks. (To export all
bookmarks in the document, choose Export All Bookmarks.)
4. The bookmarks will be extracted and saved in an XML file. You can specify the
name and the location for it.
