I'm working on my first project in Frame 7, and have stumbled into some bookmark oddities when making PDFs. Here's what I'm seeing: --When setting the bookmark levels, I don't see all of the paragraph tags that I have defined throughout the book. Even after I do a "generate/update" operation, I _still_ don't see all of the paragraph tags. --When I set the bookmark levels for the various paragraph tags, and click "Set", FrameMaker goes through and saves all of the documents in the book, in theory saving the settings I just make. However, it doesn't save the changes. If I print the book to PDF again, the paragraph tage levels for the bookmarks are back the way they were originally. None of my changes are saved. --When I actually print the book to a PS file, the settings I specified for the bookmarks aren't used. In fact, some of the other PDF settings, like including named destinations for all paragraphs, aren't applied either. (I get Distiller messages indicating that destinations can't be found.) --When I try to use the setting that controls how many levels of bookmarks are showing, I set it to "None", because I don't want bookmarks expanded. When I save or print, the setting is changed to "268435453". I have a fair number of bookmark levels, but not 268 million! :-) --When I print, and distill with Distiller 5, I see bookmarks for generated files (like the index and TOC) that aren't in the list of paragraphs to bookmark. Apparently this is a problem with Distiller 5? I got that impression from a KnowledgeBase entry. Printing to a PostScript file, or doing the "Save as PDF" option both produce exactly the same odd results. I initially experienced these problems on a set of my documents. I tried saving as MIF and re-opening. Same problem. So, I tried the sample book that ships with Frame 7. Same problems. I was doing this work in Frame 7 on my Mac Powerbook running OS 9.2.1, with Adobe PS Driver 8.7.3. I thought maybe that was the issue. So, I tried working with the sample book on Frame 7 on Windows NT 4. I have the exact same issues there. So, it doesn't appear to be an OS problem, or a problem with my files. Has anyone else seen this odd bookmark/PDF behavior? I searched Adobe's site, but didn't find anything that relates to it. Hope someone can shed some light. Thanks in advance. Steve
