    Default Only want to search the bookmarks, not the pages

    Is there a way in Acrobat 6.0.1 to limit the search to just the bookmarks? I don't want the user's searching the text on the pages.

    The PDF file consists of parts diagrams, sales sheets, and assembly instructions. The users need to quickly be able to find the exact product they are looking for. When entering 20 in the search criteria, I would like it to only find the bookmarks with 20 in them. Not every instance of 20 in the text of the documents.

    Anyone have any suggestions? I have searched the help file and the forums with no luck.

    Thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Only want to search the bookmarks, not the pages

    This would require adding a custom JavaScript to perform a search of the bookmark text and then presenting those results in some format - listbox or combobox, popupMenu to allow the user to make a selection to execute one of these matching bookmarks.

    This is doable - I have done something similar by presenting all bookmarks in a PDF as a dynamic popupMenu.

    I don't believe it is possible to use built-in search for bookmarks.
