I've made a folder in "My Documents" for PDFs. I have included in this folder a notepad page for bookmarks: In the PDF folder, right click on the blank space, click New » Text Document. Title it "Bookmarks".
When I want to create a bookmark, I highlight and copy a few words of text in the PDF where I want to resume reading, and paste them into the Notepad page beneath where I have previously typed the PDF title. Any number of PDFs and bookmarks may be accommodated in this way.
When I want to resume reading, I highlight and copy the same few words of text from the "Bookmarks" Notepad page and paste them into the search box (having previously typed Ctrl-F
) in the PDF in Adobe Reader. A click of the forward arrow and I am there again.
Describing this makes it sound complicated, but after the folder and notepad are set up, it quickly becomes very easy. I do wish simple bookmarks were already available in Adobe Reader X, though.
3I used this myself and it worked fairly well... My preferred method is to just upload it to Google Play Books and run it from there, then the bookmark is available on any of my devices anywhere. – Taegost – 2013-07-25T14:17:31.200
