This is a strange, subtle thing, but I’ll try to explain it.
I recently used the Table of Contents feature in order to create automated bookmarks for a PDF document.
But when viewing the PDF using Preview on a Mac, the left sidebar’s bookmarks behave strangely. When clicking on a page in the sidebar, the highlight will jump to the previous page (not the page that was clicked on). However, the page that was clicked on will display in the main window as intended; it’s just that the sidebar will not correctly display what page I am viewing.
As a test, I’ve opened a few other PDFs with bookmarks in Preview, but they don’t have this issue, so it appears it’s something I’m doing. Any ideas?
I’m designing on InDesign CS 5.5 on a PC. My document’s TOC bookmarks are working fine on Adobe Acrobat tested on PC and Acrobat Reader on Mac.
After I wrote all of the above, I was able to test one of the problematic files on MacOS 10.14 Mojave, and it worked fine. My previous tests of Mac’s Preview app were on 10.13 High Sierra, so maybe it’s relegated to that version of macOS?
Here’s a link to a video showing what I’m seeing: https://imgur.com/a/JWx6M29
Thanks for any ideas!
