Frequently Asked Questions

Why remove bookmarks before sharing a PDF?
Teams often use bookmarks internally for drafting and review, but those navigation structures can be confusing or unnecessary for external recipients.
Does bookmark removal affect the actual page content?
No. It removes the PDF navigation metadata only. The visible pages stay the same.
Can I add new bookmarks later if needed?
Yes. After removing the old set, you can add a new bookmark structure tailored to the final shared version.
