Further to Ken's suggestion, has your author created a Word Automated
Table of Contents? Some PDF makers, for example the Australian product
pdfMachine which I use (from Broadgun Software - www.broadgun.com) creates
the hierarchical tree of bookmarks from a Word auto-generated Table of
Contents. If there is no auto TOC, there will be no bookmarks pane.

Subject: Re: Adobe Acrobat problem

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.
