atw: Re: Adobe Acrobat problem

I wonder...
Conversion from Word to Acrobat used to be done in two possible ways. Via the Print menu, or via Adobe PDF -> Convert. The latter allowed for creation of bookmarks - a macro went through the doc and grabbed all the headings and references. I haven't used it for a while but I still have the combo on my computer. 

I'd check:
a) that she's converting the correct way
b) that the 'create bookmarks' option is enabled (might be in the Adobe PDF menu)
Worst case scenario, she could download OpenOffice, open the doc in that, then export to PDF... :-)

Hi All,

A colleague of mine has a problem with Adobe Acrobat. In her words:
”This is the problem we spoke about last night that is driving me nutty. I create a largish document in Word. It has a hierarchy of headings. Before I send it for review or publish it, I have to convert it to a PDF using Acrobat.
All my Acrobat documents must have bookmarks down the left hand side. At the moment I am laboriously having to add in each bookmark from every heading and sub heading one by one. I am convinced that Adobe used to be able to pick up the heading hierarchy and create the structure automatically, but I’ll be blowed if I can find out anywhere how.
The command that might do it under bookmarks in Adobe – ‘New bookmarks’ from structure - is always greyed out. So maybe I am not doing something or other when I convert the document to PDF. 

Any ideas?”
I couldn’t help but there may be someone out there who understands what my colleague is trying to do and can shed some light. 

Thanks,

Ted Mooney
