Word 2007 and PDF Bookmarks
I just upgraded Office 2003 to 2007 and was using Adobe Acrobat Professional
7.0 to create PDFs. I downloaded the pdf add-in from the Microsoft website, but when I create a PDF, the bookmarks don't have the header numbers. The good thing is the headers are generated, which some PDF Makers don't do. My word document contains headers 1, 2 & 3 throughout and has an auto generated TOC. When I used to use Adobe, it would list the headers with the numbers before them in the bookmarks. Is there a way to do this with the PDF add-in from Microsoft? If not, does anyone know of a free PDF maker that can do this? My company does not want to pay to upgrade to the newest Acrobat Profressional, which does this. Thanks so much. |

Word 2007 and PDF Bookmarks
Yes, create bookmarks is enabled. Bookmarks do get created but the heading
numbers are not included. I found a free utility yesterday called PDF-T-Maker that does this so I'm using this now. I just wished the add-in that Microsoft has would have worked like this. It doesn't make sense that it takes the heading names but not the heading numbers for the bookmarks. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: When you choose Office - Save as - PDF or XPS...

Word 2007 and PDF Bookmarks
I see now. Previously, you said "header numbers," and I thought you were
referring to numbers contained inside headers. But, you're saying that if your document includes automatic numbering for headings (not headers) (I, 1, A, a, etc.), then those numbers are not included in the bookmarks that the converter uses to create the PDF outline (which it calls bookmarks--a different concept from Word's own bookmark concept). If the document has manual heading numbering, however, the converter does correctly capture those. I wonder if this was an oversight, or a design decision. Having the numbers appear at the left would be an important navigation aid--which is really the reason for having the heading-based-bookmarks to begin with. In any case, I'm glad you've found a free alternative that provides the functionality. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "reneec" wrote in message ...
