Distressing to see no bookmarks in a pile of Word docs PDF'd (with 'Create Bookmarks' and 'Convert Word Headings to Bookmkars' both checked in AA prefs).
PDFing an individual file from Word adds the bookmarks just fine, but PDFing from within Acrobat (File> Create PDF> Batch Create Multiple Files) leaves the bookmark panel empty. Is there a setting I'm missing? I'm managing this with an excruciatingly convoluted Word macro right now but it's not predictable.
This is AA 9 Pro and Word 2003. Note: This is not about *combining* files, just PDFing several individual Word docs.
Any clues appreciated.
Edit > Preferences > select the category Convert to PDF
Scroll down the middle "window pane" that contains a list of what can be converted to PDF.
Locate and select Microsoft Office Word.
Now, click the "Edit" button.
A dialog (Adobe PDF Settings for supported documents) opens.
Place a tick mark in the square next to "Add bookmarks to Adobe PDF file"
Within this dialog you can pre-select:
--| The Distiller job option that will be used (Adobe PDF Settings entry).
--| Type of Security to add (Adobe PDF Security).
--| Add links to Adobe PDF file (add a tick mark in the adjacent square).
--| Enable accessibility and reflow (add a tick mark in the adjacent square).
Be well...
