Redundant PDF bookmarks

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Sounds like you've already done this, but I've always found those errant
bookmarks by opening each individual file in the book, looking at the PDF
Setup from the Print window, then removing a bookmark. I've found that
generated files seem to produce these unwanted bookmarks, so you might check
those again.

You do have to open each file, print, look at the PDF setup, then see what
styles are set as bookmarks.

Subject: Redundant PDF bookmarks



I use FrameMaker 7.1 with Acrobat Distiller 7.0 to author, update, and
generate a set of PDF files from the unstructured content.

There is a problem with redundant bookmarks that I cannot overcome. In the
generated PDF file, there are always bookmarks generated other that the ones
that I specify in the "PDF Setup" dialog box of FrameMaker. I applied the
settings from the "Bookmarks" tab to both books and individual book
components (see
http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1228#bookmarks) - all with
no success. I also tried to apply these settings via the "Print Document -
PDF Setup...", but it did not work either. In each case, I get extra
bookmarks which correspond to the paragraph styles used in the document
sources (heading levels, table captions, etc.).

How can I persuade FrameMaker/Distiller to generate only the bookmarks that
I specify in the corresponding properties?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bostjan
