Bookmarks

The Bookmarks page of the Printing Preferences window allows you to enable and customize the detection of bookmarks in the original document.

The window can be opened by choosing the Printing Preferences menu item when novaPDF is selected in the Printers and Faxes window and clicking the Bookmarks tab. This tab is also accessible from the printing Windows application in the Print dialog if you press the Properties (Preferences) button when novaPDF is selected.
