How to view PDF outline and create custom outlines?

Certain PDFs, like e-books, have outlines that allow you to quickly navigate to specific sections of that document. An outline is basically a hidden table of contents that can be viewed in most PDF viewers. If you import such a PDF into Notewise, you'll see its outline too. What's even better is you can create your own outline for any document!

 

Add pages to a custom outline

  1. Open the Thumbnail view, tap the down-arrow under the thumbnail of that page, then choose Add to Outline.
  2. You will then be asked to name the outline item.
  3. Tap the Outline tab and the new outline will appear.

 

View the outlines, including the PDF outline

Open the Thumbnail view and tap the Outlines tab. You can tap an outline item to jump to the corresponding page.

 

Delete or rename custom outline items

To delete or rename an outline item in the Outline tab, tap the menu button at the end of an outline item, you may then rename or delete it.


Arrange custom outlines

You may long press on a custom outline item on top another custom outline item to move it inside or outside.




Notewise does not support deleting outlines from imported PDFs. However, you can filter your outlines to exclude PDF Outlines so that only your custom outlines show up.
