I want to create a conversion of a large Word index to pdf converting links and bookmarks very accurately and have the target document extensions changed to pdf as well. I have used several products but the bookmarks are not accurate.

Then look at your conversion settings in Word. Choose Adobe PDF | Change Conversion Settings | Bookmarks to specify how bookmarks will look in the finished PDF.
Choose Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks to convert headings in the Word file to bookmarks in the PDF file.
Options: In the Bookmark column, deselect bookmarks for headings that you don’t want to be converted. Change the level of the bookmark associated with a heading (or other item) only if that heading (or item) is selected.
Deselect the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks option to deselect all headings in the list.
Just a note: If a file contains paragraphs formatted using discontinuous heading levels, PDFMaker inserts blank bookmarks for each of the missing levels.
Select Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks to map bookmarks to Word styles. This is useful if you have used custom Word styles.
Once the Word file is prepared and the correct conversion settings are selected, you are ready to make a PDF. ChooseAcrobat | Convert to PDF or click on the left Acrobat button in the toolbar.
