Creating tabs for documents

I am creating a large document for investors that will contain various agreements and reports, but the document needs to be separated so that tabs can be used to access different sections of the document. I want it to function the same way that lettered or numbered tabs on a physical document would. How can I do this?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0

Your post suggests that the project may be your first run at incorporating Acrobat's interactive features. You will probably have many more questions. Instead of "tabs" you'd place "bookmarks" in your PDF document. You can place divider pages between sections of your document, where the dividers could be labeled 'TAB 1', 'TAB 2', etc. I can offer guidance by telephone. Feel free to shoot me a message via the forum's E-mail facility.

I'm having the same problem as bobbinjones. I'm fairly new to Acrobat, so probably haven't searched for the right question. When I put bookmarks in my document, it just appears to have bookmarked the entire thing. It looks like I need to insert some dividers with labels on them, but I'm not sure how it will appear to my users. Any ideas?
