Adding Bookmark

Bookmarking folders is a common operation that allows you to quickly access your most important folders. To add new bookmarks you have to select the folder you want and then click on the [Add bookmark] context menu item.

Once the bookmark has been created you can check that it appears in the general [Bookmarks] section in the accordion panel on the left side.  Here you can see the complete list of your bookmarks, by clicking on a bookmark you will be redirected to the referenced folder, or you can use a context menu to edit and delete existing bookmarks.

Policy Description
all pages each page of the original file will be saved in a new PDF
selection of pages you specify a selection of pages separated by comma. In the Expression field you specify the page ranges. E.g. 1,2-5 generates a new PDF  with containing just the first page and another PDF containing pages 2,3,4 and 5
blank page as separator the blank pages are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF
barcode as separator the pages containing a barcode are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF. In the Expression field you can define a regular expression to be matched by the barcode. E.g. SEPARATOR means that the barcode's value must have the value 'SEPARATOR'
text as separator the pages containing a given text are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF. In the Expression field you must define the text to use as separator
