The plugin should work correctly for Adobe Reader 7, 8 and 9. If you’re interested in helping add a translation for another language please let me know. There are currently only 3 items that need translating – “Bookmark”, “Bookmark This Page” and “Go To Bookmark”.

It’s official. WordPress 2.5 is now out with a crisp new admin interface and great new features. They’ve even redone the website. Here are some of my favorite changes:

• A beautiful new admin interface.
• A much more intuitive flow when making a post.
• Multiple instant file uploads.
• Thumbnail, medium and full-sized image options (and you can change the image dimensions in Settings).
• A quick way to display your photos as a gallery
• Easily add/edit tags so no more plugins are needed.
• A visual editor that doesn’t break your code (this one is great for my clients).
• Search now looks at posts and pages.

I’ve always thought that WordPress is one of the best blogging and content management systems. It’s incredibly intuitive for the user (even more so now) and extremely flexible for developers.

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped with WordPress!

Thanks to the input of Michael Hartl, I updated the plugin to work properly with Adobe Reader 8. Adobe turned on some security settings by default in the new Adobe Reader which broke the previous version of the plugin.

Download:

PDF Bookmark 1.2

• 1.1 – Dec 20, 2007 – Update to work with Adobe Reader 8 due to security changes (app.trustedFunction)
• 1.0 – Sep 15, 2006 – Initial release

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\JavaScripts (or similar)

• Linux: /home/[User Name]/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/JavaScripts/
• Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\JavaScripts (or similar)

Adobe Reader 7 – copy pdf_bookmark.js to:

• Linux: /home/[User Name]/.adobe/Acrobat/7.0/JavaScripts/

Note: you may have to create the JavaScripts folder if it doesn’t exist. Thanks for all of the comments and emails about working systems and folder!

Usage:

Open your document in Adobe Reader. Then choose Tools -> Bookmark from the menu. “Bookmark This Page” adds the bookmark. “Go To Bookmark” sends you to the bookmark you created. It remembers which PDF document you bookmarked so it works on all of your PDFs simultaneously. (Tested with Acrobat Reader 7, Adobe Reader 8 (thanks Michael) and Adobe Reader 9 on Mac OS X, Linux (thanks TitCouille) and Windows)
