Quick bookmark

Post by radekzadek »

An idea for a useful feature (at least I would use it and miss it hundreds of times every day). It is not a new idea, neither is it mine. I came across it some 15 years ago when WordPerfect introduced a function called a quick bookmark. It gives you the ability to place one bookmark in a document without giving it a name just by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Q. When you want to go to it, you press Ctrl-Q. Extremely simple, but I use it dozens of times a day. And miss it in PDFXchange. I so often need to jump somewhere in a long book I am studying and then need to come back to precisely where I want to. I know I can use the Alt-Left but so often I take several steps in between that this is a cumbersome process. I may occasionally forget where it was that I wanted to return to as it might be minutes or hours later. I think it could be quick to programme and it would definitely be a feature that none of the other pdf readers have.
Thank you!

Hello radekzadek,

While I can see your point, I do not believe this feature would be necessary in ver3 of our Viewer, as there you would be able to split your document, and read/scroll both sections independently - so you can instantly open the location where you want your !quick bookmark" to be in a separate view window - and have it stay there for as long as you like.

Please have a look at a brief review of what's coming in ver3 here:

Best,
Stefan
