Color Bookmarks in the bookmark side window
hi @ all
i have 2 questions
1. can I color the bookmarks in the bookmark side window in different colors.
EXAMPLE:
Header 1
Sub Header 11
Sub Header 12
Sub Header 13
Sub Header 12
Sub Header 13
Header 2
Sub Header 21
Sub Header 22
Sub Header 23
Sub Header 22
Sub Header 23
I havent found any answer in the forum nor in the manual.
2. I make content in word. I know its not automatically click-able in my used version(PDF-xChange Light).
Is there a chance to do this in PDF itself.
thanks for helping a newbie

Re: Color Bookmarks in the bookmark side window
Hi HellsBells,
if you select a book mark in the Bookmark pane (CTRL+B) the "Edit" button above it will become active which opens the "Bookmark Properties" dialogue. Here you can change the colour of the bookmarks as well font, size and style. You can also define the action.

Regards making clickable links you can do this in the Viewer using the LInk tools
page 161 of the manual.

Re: Color Bookmarks in the bookmark side window
many thanks for ur fast reply Paul.... never ever experience such an excellent service in a forum
- the bookmark issue is solved . that works fine ... thanks
- the color change issue is still open... after I go to the edit menu the bar for the color changing is grayed out ... does this have something to do with the version I use ( xChange lite latest version) or the preferences "Accessibility Option/Document Color Options/Override Document Colors" (does it have to be ticked ???)
another question that hit me is .... Do I have to renew the bookmarks and the content in the PDF file all the time i make some changes at the word ??? which option do i have to use while I re-save it to the PDF file ( I use xChange lite latest version)
kind regard Dieter

Hi HellsBells,
I don't think it is related to the Free/licensed issue but the settings as you mentioned.
Regardless - I'm pleased you worked this out. Do let us know if there is anything more we can do for you.

Re: Color Bookmarks in the bookmark side window
k.......... i got spare time today and i made some further investigations about the above mentioned behavior of the xLite Version
- the splash screen of the program still says i use the free version of PDF xchange
instead of i use xLite Version
- if i tick in the preferences/categories/registration parameters/ "hide restricted "pro" function in the free version I CANT change the appearance of the colors and content ... as soon as i untick the tag I can change the appearance of the colors and content.
- I have installed Open Office as well to tested.... the function of Xlite is working well with word and open Office.... BUT the behavior is in both test situations the same
I take as it is and an leave the hide restricted untagged... so everything working fine....
kind regards Dieter

Re: Color Bookmarks in the bookmark side window
Hello Dieter,
Thanks - now that clarifies the situation. The license you have is valid only for the PDF XChange Lite:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... hange-lite
And you could also use our Free Viewer:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... nge-viewer
Please note that since build 194 Bookmark creation/modification is free, so please make sure that you have the current latest build of our Viewer (2.5.195) and you should not get the "DEMO" stamps added to your pages.
You can download the latest installation file either from the page above or from this direct link:

Stefan
