I just tried it out and here's what I noticed:
- It created bookmarks based on headers for the document (yeah!)
- It did not create the bookmark links that I created in the ToC at
the beginning of the document (Question here - If I left in the
generated ToC would it work?)
- It removed the transparency on my logo images in the header, adding
a black background to them
- It did not include the .docx on the first merge, but did on the rest
(I'd prefer it didn't on all, of course)
- It messed up the formatting on my cover page (put a huge color block
instead of just a border on the first one, put one of the sides as
gray instead of the assigned color on the rest)
- It changed the style for my section intros (previously with a dashed
border on top and one side, now a solid border)
Thank you!

Good thinking - though it was not so straightforward to modify the add-in to
adopt this procedure and maintain compatibility with Word versions below
2007 
I think I have cracked it and have posted a version on my web site -http://www.gmayor.com/Extras/MMtoDocsRev32.zip
which the OP can try out. It requires the Microsoft PDF plug-in for Word
2007 -http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4d951911-3e7....
, but still requires Acrobat for Word versions below 2007.
It works with Word 2007 and my test files, adding the extension .pdf to the
filename produced by the splitter eg filename.docx.pdf. I suppose I could
have stripped off the docx before renaming, but frankly life's too short.
Please try and break it.

Hi Graham,
I think if Word 2007 is being used, we should be able to use code
like the following, instead of using the PDF printer
ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Doug Robbins\My Documents\Chris
Armstrong\Doc3.pdf" _
, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False,
OptimizeFor:= _
wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1,
To:=1, _
Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True,
KeepIRM:=True, _
CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks,
DocStructureTags:=True, _
BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False
The above was recorded, except that I changed the CreateBookmarks
setting to wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks, which I assume may allow
the functionality to click on a table of contents entry and have the
focus move to that part of the document.
I am not however completely sure of that and think that a
"roll-your-own" equivalent to mailmerge may be required where you
start with the main documnet in the form of a template with
DOCVARIABLE fields in place of MERGEFIELDS and then have a macro that
iterates through the data source creating a new document from the
template for each record and setting the values of variables in the
document to the values in the fields in that record, then saving that
file in the required format.

The reason this occurs is that the add-in simply prints to the Adobe
driver and does not use the Adobe add-in for Word which transfers the
bookmarks. I cannot see an easy solution to your problem, though
Doug may have some ideas.

I've got a large mail merge document that I'm using to create
multiple reports. I'm using the add-in from he
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm
The issue I'm having is that the automatically generated ToC won't
update when I do the merge (all the graphics do)
Since the ToC won't change as the design is static and only numbers
in tables and graphics change, I tried pasting a static version in
and creating bookmarks in Word pointing to the section headers. When I
run the merge (and my PDF settings all say to keep
bookmarks), it strips the ToC and doesn't place the bookmarks in
the created files. I upgraded to Acrobat 9 yesterday to see if that
would help, it
didn't.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
