Download BookMarker

Getting Started

Please read the following instructions to help you get started using BookMarker.

Installation

Please make sure that you have the full version of Acrobat running, or at least a demo version. This plug-in will not run under the free Adobe Reader. The plug-in becomes part of Adobe Acrobat, so once the software is installed you will need to open Adobe Acrobat to use it.

To install the software:

• Step 1: Extract the installer from the zip file that you have downloaded. In Windows you probably won't have to extract the installer as the zip file will open just like a folder.
• Step 2: Run the Mapsoft_Bookmarker_Install.exe file by double clicking on it. On some systems that are more restricted you may need to run the installer as Administrator (right-click and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu). Do not change the user to an Administrator account to complete the installation.
• Step 3: Run through the screens, agreeing to the license agreement and entering your serial number. If you don't have a serial number and just want to use the demo version, type the code 0714512682B15FB9 into the serial number field.

Using the Software

Once the plug-in is installed and you load Acrobat, you will find BookMarker on the Plug-ins > Mapsoft menu.

The main BookMarker window is a floating window, so you do not need to close it down to navigate through your PDF file. You can access the User Guide for BookMarker via the Help menu on the main BookMarker window.

Creating Your First Level

• Step 1: Make sure that you have the document open that you want to bookmark.
• Step 2: Make sure that you have the text copy tool active in Acrobat.
• Step 3: Select some of the text containing the style that you want to use for defining the bookmark level.
• Step 4: Select the Add button in the BookMarker window to define your first level.

For further information please see the User Guide.

Running BookMarker Under the Latest Versions of Adobe Acrobat

You may encounter problems saving configurations in BookMarker when running under the latest versions of Acrobat DC (both 32-bit and 64-bit). Acrobat is often installed with protected mode on, which stops access to external files and the registry.

This can be switched off in the Edit > Preferences menu and then by going to the Security (Enhanced) tab. Uncheck the protected mode option to allow BookMarker to save configurations correctly.
