Tech Tip: Using Annotations to “Bookmark” Documents
Navigate through large documents easily by bookmarking with annotations.
August 11th, 2009 Comment on this articleWhen working with large documents, you may want to be able to quickly find your way to particular parts of the document, or navigate within the document. For instance, you might want to be able to jump directly to a frequency-referenced page, or you might want to be able to jump through a document by section or chapter – but you might not want to memorize page number in order to do so.
With Laserfiche 8.1, you can use annotations and the annotation pane to “bookmark” sections of the document. To do so, simply add an annotation to each page you want to bookmark. You can use any annotation that supports text: sticky note, text box or callout text. Type a name for your “bookmark.” For instance, you might create a text box for each section of a document, and name them “Section I,” “Section II” and so on.
To view and jump to your new “bookmarks,” display the Annotations pane. (You can do so in the Document Viewer either from the View menu or by pressing CTRL+5.) This will list all of the annotations in the document, including your bookmarks. You may need to right-click the annotations columns and choose to display text to make the bookmark names visible. You can then jump directly to them by right-clicking the appropriate bookmark and selecting Go to.
