FM 10 - crashes and PDF bookmark settings

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

At least the paragraphs which are used for bookmarks could
be set for each file individually already in FrameMaker 8. I had
used this to add the GroupTitlesIX paragraph format solely in
the index file to get the single characters as bookmarks (and
similarly for the glossary headings). There was no need to add
this paragraph format to the first file in the book. This behaviour
did not change with FrameMaker 10 (which I use for a week now).

I figure that the same holds true for the Tags tab. I do not know
which setting in which file (or the whole book) takes precedence
in the Settings and the Links tab.

The way the bookmarks settings works is:

o You can set the paragraphs for bookmarks in each single file.
  But you can also select all files in the book and set this for all
  files.
  (I do not remember which paragraphs are shown, if you select just
  the book. There are not all available formats shown of all files in the
  book and also not the formats of the first file in the book. I just tested
  this with a file with only 3 paragraph formats as first file.)

o Bookmarks are then created as set in each file.

This behaviour was already explained in detail some months ago either
here or in the Adobe FrameMaker forum.

Best regards

Winfried
