How to Add Bookmarks to a PDF — Step by Step

PDF bookmarks (also called an outline or table of contents) appear in your PDF reader's sidebar and let readers jump directly to any section. Doclair makes it easy to create a full bookmark structure for long documents.

1. Upload your PDF. Doclair reads the total page count automatically.
2. Click "+ Add Bookmark" and type the bookmark title and destination page number. Add as many bookmarks as your document needs.
3. Set the bookmark level. Level 0 = top-level, Level 1–3 = indented sub-items.
4. Reorder bookmarks using the ▲/▼ arrows, then click "Add Bookmarks" to download. Your PDF is ready instantly.

What PDF readers display bookmarks?

Bookmarks (called the 'Outline' or 'Navigation' panel) are supported by Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on Mac, Foxit Reader, Chrome's built-in PDF viewer, and most modern PDF applications. The reader sidebar usually has a bookmark icon — click it to see the navigation tree.

Add Bookmarks on iPhone and Android

Doclair works in Safari and Chrome on mobile. Build your bookmark structure and download the PDF — Adobe Acrobat Reader on iOS and Android will display the bookmarks in the navigation panel.
