[Acrobat Beginner]. This question's so simple I'm flat-out embarrassed to even ask it; whatever....
I've got a 220-page .pdf file downloaded off the net; it's an instruction manual for an app. There are numerous Bookmarks 'built in' to this document, and the tool-tip floating over this panel reads: "Bookmarks: Go to specific points of interest using bookmark links."
My beginner-level question is: Why is it, that when I left-click on one of these bookmarks, that I DO NOT go to the bookmark in question? Even when I right-click on that bookmark & choose "Go to Bookmark" [which by the way does NOT have a little selection-arrow beside it], nothing happens.
Is there some super-simple configuration I'm not seeing? Or maybe this particular .pdf file is defective?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi riprap1951,

Hard to say without seeing the file. Is the PDF publicly available? If yes please provide a link.

Hello, Dmitri:
Thanks for the reply! Here's some additional information, probably a clue:
The Bookmarks in the .pdf file in question [userguide for Acronis True Image 2011] DO actively-link to the sections in question when I'm using the file as downloaded from Acronis' site. BUT once I opened this file in Acrobat X Pro & created a few comments & new bookmarks, then it seems like all the original bookmark 'links' were somehow 'broken'. Does this sound familiar to you? Is there a way to 're-connect' the bookmark links, once the file has been edited?
Thanks for your time & attention to detail.

You may want to download the user guide for Acronis True Image 2011 again. I downloaded the file mid December and have opened the file several times with Reader X. The bookmarks work fine for me.
