Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's Guide to PDF Viewers

A major reason (The Reason?) for using Acroread for me is the "Bookmarks" feature. Navigation by thumbnail or page icon just isn't the same as clicking on a named heading and going straight to the spot. Particularly as my company now generates bookmarked docs using the excellent extendedPDF plugin to OOo. Is there any reason why the free viewers don't support bookmarks - is it a legal hurdle, or is it a matter of shortage of round-to-its?

The feature you want is in xpdf. Click the square in the bottom left corner and drag to reveal the bookmarks panel. I love extendedPDF too :)
