Flags provide a mechanism for easily navigating to specific pages and places in a PDF. The Flags panel opens between the workspace and the right panel. The Flags panel cannot be detached or moved, but if you detach a document tab with MultiView™ Extended, the detached workspace will carry its own Flags panel.
Click Flags in the upper-right corner of the workspace to show or hide the Flags panel.
Flags may be either Linked or Unlinked. There are a few, key differences between the two:
The following table summarizes these key differences:
Qualities | Linked | Unlinked |
Associated with a Markup? | Yes | No |
Visible on PDF? | Yes | No |
Visible on Markups list? | Yes | No |
Visible on Flags panel? | Yes | Yes |
Appears with a symbol on the Flags pane? | Yes () | No |
Predefined Action? | Yes | No |
Editable Action? | No | Yes |
Title, color, and text style are editable? | Yes | Yes |
A flag will extend to the full length of the Flags panel if that flag is on the PDF page that is currently active. Flags that are on other pages are slightly shorter. This behavior continues as you move through pages in Vu, so as you are scrolling from one page to the next, flags shorten and widen accordingly.
The order of the flags in the Flags panel can be changed. To do so, click the desired flag and drag it to a new location.
A small indicator that a flag (whether linked or unlinked) is on a page appears on the upper-right corner of the page thumbnail in the Thumbnails tab.
