Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add bookmarks to a PDF for free?
Upload your PDF using the area above. Click on page thumbnails to add bookmarks, or use the "Add Bookmark" button. Set titles and hierarchy levels, then generate and download the bookmarked PDF — no cost, no registration.
Will my PDF bookmarks work in Adobe Reader?
Yes. The generated PDF follows the standard PDF outline specification, so bookmarks appear correctly in Adobe Reader, Acrobat, Preview on Mac, and most other PDF viewers that support outlines.
Can I create nested or hierarchical bookmarks?
Absolutely. Each bookmark has a level (1, 2, or 3). A level‑2 bookmark becomes a child of the previous level‑1 bookmark, allowing you to build a complete PDF outline with chapters and subchapters.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
Never. This is a client‑side PDF bookmark tool — all processing happens inside your browser. Your documents stay on your device at all times.
Is there a limit on file size or number of bookmarks?
You can process PDFs up to 50 MB and add as many bookmarks as you need. The free PDF bookmark adder handles documents up to 50 pages for preview generation.
Does this tool change the content of my PDF?
No. The only change is adding the outline/bookmark structure. All page content, images, text, and formatting remain exactly as they were in the original document.
