PDF bookmark font is Arial not Arial-CE

This is happening b/c Frame 7 does not support Unicode, so it does not
pass characters for unsupported languages (non-Asian, non-Western Euro)
to Acrobat correctly. The two workarounds I use for this are (a) Shlomo
Perets' Timesavers (www.microtype.com) or upgrading to Frame 8.
Timesavers has been an excellent solution for our v7 docs, but there are
some remaining issues with certain characters being corrupted which
still requires us to do some manual work to correct the bookmarks. Of
the two options, the upgrade is the way to go long-term b/c the Unicode
support solves a host of other issues we encounter when working with
Eastern Euro, Greek, Russian, etc.

Subject: PDF bookmark font is Arial not Arial-CE

I'm writing on behalf of a co-worker.

OS: Windows XP
FrameMaker: 7.0

She's creating a PDF from a FrameMaker document, using Print Book and
selecting the Acrobat printer.

The problem is that while the body styles are defined as Arial CE, the
bookmarks are appearing (we guess) in Arial. That is, the symptom is
that the bookmarks are garbled as the Polish headings contain characters
not found, or not correctly mapped.

How does one solve this problem? Specify a font for use in the bookmarks
somehow? Or is there a different problem that's producing this symptom?
