FM 9: PDF Bookmarks include TOC headings

[Fred Ridder]

It's an undocumented feature of FrameMaker that you can select *additional* paragraph tags to be picked up as PDF bookmarks -- over and above the tags seleted in the book's PDF setup -- on a file-by-file basis by selecting them in an individual file's PDF Setup dialog. 
 
If you open the TOC.fm file and look at *it's* PDF setup (rather than the book file's PDF setup), you'll find that the H1TOC, H2TOC, etc. tags are specified to generate PDF bookmarks. Just clear those selections and save the file, then generate your PDF and you should see that the unwanted bookmarks are no longer there in the PDF.

> This is in a Frame 9 book that includes three files: title.fm, TOC.fm,
> and doc.fm (names changed for simplicity).
> 
> doc.fm has heading paragraph tags H1, H2, H3, etc., and TOC.fm's
> contents use H1TOC, H2TOC, H3TOC, etc.
> 
> When I save the book as PDF, I get the setup dialog in whose Bookmarks
> tab I can choose which headings to include as bookmarks.
> 
> I choose H1, H2, and H3. H1TOC, H2TOC, and H3TOC are not options. But my
> PDF bookmarks include all H1TOC, H2TOC, and H3TOCs anyway, even though I
> don't want them. When I click them, they just take me to the
> corresponding line in the TOC, which is pretty useless.
> 
> How do I stop TOC headings from being included in my PDF bookmarks?
