SUMMARY Currently when creating bookmarks they all get their own entry for each pdf with pages grouped under, like a folder. There is currently no way to create a folder to group pdf's the same way bookmarks are grouped under each pdf. I'd like to see the ability to create 'folders' in the bookmark tree so I can group my pdf's and bookmarks in a coherent way instead of having a long list. Also the ability to move bookmarks and their sorting would be superb, currently it is listed alphabetically. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open pdf's with okular 2. Add bookmarks 3. Try to group pdf's or find anything in the massive list after a years use.

+1 I changed the summary so I can find this with the search tool later. Would it make sense to allow bookmarks of the same document be grouped into different folders? Like: + Physics class – Equations.pdf – Page 15: Divergence Theorem + Chemistry class – Equations.pdf – Page 275: The number of this ridiculous “mol” unit

Allowing bookmarks of the same document to be grouped into different folders means that we must think about where new bookmarks would show up. I added to your example how I'm thinking new bookmarks would be handled. This way users know where to find the new bookmarks and can easily move them to a fitting folder if they wish. + Physics class – Equations.pdf – Page 15: Divergence Theorem + Chemistry class – Equations.pdf – Page 275: The number of this ridiculous “mol” unit + ~/Documents/Equations.pdf - Page 3: Table of contents - Page 7: New Bookmark
When reading structured PDF, like for example the Okular documentation, the different chapters and subchapters are displayed as a tree of kind of bookmarks. Wouldn't it be possible to use this structure to store bookmarks, and to attach each bookmark to an entry of the table of content or to an already existing bookmark? Could this be a way to address this issue?
Looks like what I just mentioned is already suggested in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335044
