Merging PDFs with PDM Publisher: Enhancing Document Navigation with Bookmarks

When utilizing PDMPublisher to merge PDFs from your PDM system, one standout feature is the automatic addition of bookmarks to the merged document. These bookmarks serve as quick links to individual components within the merged PDF, significantly improving navigation and usability.

Unlike the default PDM Convert Task, which does not provide this bookmarking capability, PDM Publisher enhances your workflow by ensuring that users can easily access specific sections of the document without scrolling through numerous pages.

This functionality not only streamlines document management but also boosts efficiency, making PDM Publisher an invaluable tool for anyone working with large assemblies or detailed drawings.
