Adobe Acrobat 7.0
I recently saw a demo of Adobe Acrobat 7.0, and I'm happy to announce that it now creates bookmarks automatically based on the file name when you combine files. Yey! This new feature was high on my wish list, and will meet what I expect is a very common need.
In 6.0, if you wanted to append all of the citing cases to a brief or other document, you had no choice but to create each bookmark manually by finding the first page of each case, then adding the bookmark. With a large number of documents this process is tedious and time-consuming. But if you're using version 7.0, bookmarks for each case will be automatically created. If you've had the foresight to name your files well, your work will be done. If not, it's fairly easy to click on each bookmark, and rename them appropriately. That's much easier than starting from scratch!
I still can't see any option to print or otherwise save bookmarks, though! I guess we can't have everything.
By the way, the Lawyer's Guide to Adobe Acrobat is now out and available. I haven't read it yet, but it comes highly recommended from a number of reliable sources.
