Hello. I use moonreader pro . I would like to arrange bookmarks to display vertically (as opposed to a horizontal format) so as to turn them into an outline. When I first started using moonreader, the bookmarks we set up to list vertically, in consecutive order. Is there any way to set them up that way anymore?

Robin, I’ve had the same problem for two years. Page sizes or shapes within a pdf may vary, but unlike the way Adobe readers standardize every page’s size the same for viewing while reading, MoonReader Pro shows them as is. Yes, you CAN tweak every different page to be roughly full frame, but that never quite gets it right, then you have to do it again and again and it gets old really really fast. If an Adobe Reader can do this, why can’t MoonReader Pro? I’ve just read something that suggests that there might, just might be a new version of the PDF plugin, but people seem to think it’s a disaster that keeps crashing. Anyone else know about this problem?

HELP
Bluetooth (headphone, wired also) operation not behaving.
In all other TTS operations on my ANDROID 9, and previous flavors, the TTS would stop and not then point to the Phones” speaker. if the distance between the phone and headset exceeds the effective range for the situation. Inconveinent at best and socially embarassing at worst.
I have read manuals on line as well as FAQ’s and, other than mentioning the apps response to buetooth and headset controls, I have NOT found the setting that would Kill the TTS in order to avoid unwanted speaker function. Is there a setting I haven’t found or have I found an issue that needs attention.
Thanks for any help That I can get.

Just a note that using the ‘clear all’ feature of bookmark context menu doesn’t actually delete highlights from your document (at least for me); it just removes them all from your bookmark list. I still had to go through the whole doc and manually delete all my highlights today when I realized I was marking up the Dropbox copy of a pdf that my whole class was using.
Martin Zwick says
My Moon Reader makes errors when it saves highlighted text that I have added comments to. In the pdf itself, the words in the highlighted text looks fine, but in the list of highlighted selections plus my comments, the words look like a poor OCR that doesn’t detect letters correctly. I haven’t seen anyone else comment about this. A lot of words are just garbled.
