TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
General Acrobat question (illustrating one of many problems I have with it):
How can you set a bookmark when reading it? (I'm not interested in how to put
them in when I create the document, that's not the issue here.) It's rare that I
have the time to finish anything I'm reading. I'd like to know how I can save my
place to come back to it later. (Apple's DocViewer has that capability. You can
even distribute docs on CD-ROMs and the users will be able to set bookmarks in
them for future reference.) In addition, I usually mark especially handy pages,
so that I can locate them quickly. Text search is *not* the right solution, as
it may be the fifth (or even twentieth) time a phrase occurs in the doc that is
the one I'm looking for.
I could jot the relevant passages down on paper, but then I'm writing my own
manual.
Ideas?
Have fun,
