In the Beginning
Portable Document Format (PDF) files,used to distribute a variety of material electronically,are popular because anyone with a PDF reading program may access and view the files.Designed to view and annotate files saved in the PDF,
Flyingbee Reader is such a PDF reading Program.
As we all know,if we are looking for a specific section in a PDF file,the search tool will help us a lot to find out each instance of a keyword;however,it would be very slow if we were looking for a common keyword in a large file.In this case,an outline,or in other words,a table of contents,will be a great way to see the structure of the PDF file and speed up our searches.
