This is a nice utility available from the author of pdf hacks. It works in Acrobat and Acrobat reader (I only tested with Version 7)

It lets you place a bookmark to any pdf file page on any (local?) directory. I love it because I browse between mulitple files often, and it saves your favourite spots in each file.

Download: Javascript Bookmark Utility

You add the bookmark_page.js file to your C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\Javascripts directory.

Next time you run Acrobat Reader, four new menu items appear at the bottom of the View menu:

Bookmark this page 5
Go to Bookmarks 6
Remove a bookmark
Clear Bookmark

Notice that there are no keyboard shortcuts to the last two items.

I edited the javascript file and added in keys 7 & 8 to the last two items (just search for "&6" in the .js file) before I copied it to the javascript directory.

Here's a simple script to run these commands from a single keystroke:



PS I tried hard to work out where the bookmark info is stored. There is some info at: PDF hack#15 but this appears to be incorrect...

Thanks. It works well.

And I find the bookmark info is stored at "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\JavaScripts" directory, the file is glob.js.
