Is there a way to bookmark your place within a PDF file?

Do any free PDF readers offer the ability to bookmark your place for viewing at a later date?

How do you mean? You could bookmark a URL pointing to a PDF, sure.

edit: Or you mean creating a bookmark inside a PDF, pointing to a specific page? I seem to be able to do that with Foxit Reader.

You can create a bookmark that points to a file on your system. If you have the Adobe Reader plugin installed, your browser will display the PDF file. Just go to File, Open, find the file and when it is displayed just bookmark it.

I will tell you that I really, really, dislike (hate) when people create topics with "teaser" subjects. If I ran this forum, I would ban such posts.

Just for you m0002a, i changed the topic title. The truth is...I hate them too, and I do not know why I posted it that way at first. I was in a hurry and was about to head out of town at the time so i guess that's why i did it. Still, it's a stupid reason.

All i am wanting to do is open up my book (PDF format) at the same page I left off. Sometimes it is hard to remember the page number (sometimes I forget to make a mental note to do so).

I use Foxit Reader and at default settings, it seems to open at the page I left off at.
