Word 2007 PDF Conversion Settings
I am using Word 2007 to create a PDF from a Word document. The resulting PDF
has only the first level of the TOC as bookmarks in the PDF. The question is: How do you set PDF conversion settings in Word 2007 to select the Heading levels that I want to use. Since we are constrained to use the Company styles I need to be able to select those paragraph tags. Where and how do I do that? In the previous version of Word that was allowed under Adobe PDF-Change Conversion Settings, and selecting the Add Bookmarks to Adobe PDF tab. |

Word 2007 PDF Conversion Settings
I found that, unlike Word 2003, you set the tags you want to include in your
PDF bookmarks by setting the Level attribute of the Paragraph Style in the Paragraph Formatting. It does not correctly subordinate Level 2 paragraphs to Level 1 or Level 3 to Level 2. In summary: 1. The Help files in Word 2007 are worse than useless, and are significantly worse than those in found in the previous version of Word. Primarily because they only talk about features and tend to leave out where to find these features and how to accomplish the operation. These Help files fail under the simplest test of best practices. 2. The function of adding bookmarks to a PDF is not reliable in that the subordination of levels does not occur in a reliable fashion. This was not true of Word 2003 where bookmarks were properly subordinated. All in all, this is a marked disappointment for a consumer, especially since I'm working professionally outputting documentation. I don't expect perfection from Microsoft. I do demand adequacy, and this falls short ot that. "jones0430" wrote: I am using Word 2007 to create a PDF from a Word document.

Word 2007 PDF Conversion Settings
There are a few issues here
1. We are not Microsoft - this is a user peer group forum! Microsoft merely hosts the forum and it is syndicated to a number of other forums. Microosft does not monitor nor contribute. 2. Word 2003 had no function to create PDF files. 3. Word 2007 has no out of the box function to create PDF files. 4. Your message talks about Adobe PDF. If you are using Acrobat to create your PDFs your question is better addressed to Adobe. Like many of the value added functions of Office, the downloadable PDF tool for Office 2007 is fairly rudimentary and does not provide the functionality of a product like Acrobat which costs a couple of hundred dollars. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jones0430 wrote: I found that, unlike Word 2003, you set the tags you want to include in your PDF bookmarks by setting the Level attribute of the Paragraph Style in the Paragraph Formatting.
