FrameMaker doesn't let you control the bookmark text, which always
includes the text including paragraph numbering (unless the autonumber
string is formatted as white).

The FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on has several functions
improving the usefulness of bookmarks, one of which can suppress paragraph
numbering (which can be further controlled based on the level).
See http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#4 for more information
and examples.

The FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on operates automatically
as part of the distilling (no need for post-creation manual operations).
