atw: Re: Adobe Acrobat problem

Which version of Word and which version of Acrobat? 
 
I haven't seen the bookmark issue in Word 2007/Acrobat 9, but there's a
known clickable TOC/internal link issue, which has a quick fix - once
you know about it! See my blog post for details:

Also, do you still have the PDF toolbar icon/Acrobat menu option in
Word, and are you creating the PDF from that? If it's gone missing,
here's how to get it back in Word 2003 and Word 2007:

Ken's suggestion is the right place to start if you have the Acrobat
menu available in Word - click it and select Conversion Settings, then
follow Ken's instructions.

I'm using Acrobat 7 Pro, which I think is a different version to that
noted below, but the settings I use in Acrobat PDFMaker that produce
bookmarks are:
- on the Settings tab, "Add bookmarks to Adobe PDF" is selected
- on the Bookmarks tab, "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks" is
partially selected and I have Heading 1, 2 & 3 selected in the Bookmark
column. All others are deselected.
 
Good luck,

Hi All,

 

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.
