Overview
Manage Text Fields lets you review, edit, and remove saved text field definitions that are used by the Create Bookmarks From Text Fields workflow. Each text field definition stores a title, a page rectangle, a search string, a group name, and a description. The dialog shows the source PDF file name at the top for reference.
How to use
- Open the PDF document associated with the text field definitions.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Utilities > Manage Text Fields....
- Browse the list of saved text fields. Select a row to view its details in the fields below the list.
- Click Edit to modify the selected field’s title, search string, group name, or description.
- Click Remove to delete the selected field from the library.
- Click OK to confirm your changes or Cancel to discard them.
List columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The bookmark title that will be created when this text field is matched. |
| Rectangle | The page region (Left, Top, Right, Bottom in PDF points) where the text field is located. |

Detail panel
When a row is selected in the list, read-only detail fields below the list display the Title, Search String, Group Name, and Description of the selected text field. These fields update automatically as you change the selection.
Action buttons
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens an edit dialog for the selected text field, allowing you to change the title, search string, group name, and description. The rectangle is not editable from this dialog. Enabled only when a field is selected. |
| Remove | Deletes the selected text field definition from the library. Enabled only when a field is selected. |
| Help | Opens this help topic. |
Note
Removing a text field definition does not affect any bookmarks that have already been created from it. It only prevents future bookmark generation from using that definition.
Tip
Use the Group Name column to organise text fields by section or purpose. This makes it easier to find and manage definitions in documents with many text fields.
