Frequently Asked Questions

Why add bookmarks instead of just a contents page?
A visible contents page helps on paper, but bookmarks improve digital navigation by letting readers jump instantly from the PDF sidebar.
What kinds of documents benefit most from bookmarks?
Manuals, handbooks, policies, reports, due diligence packets, and any long PDF with clearly defined sections benefit the most.
Can bookmarks improve document usability for reviewers?
Yes. They reduce friction for readers who need to jump between clauses, chapters, appendices, or repeated review sections.
