In Word 2003 I have a link on page 1 to a bookmarked word that is in the second half of page 3. After converting the doc to a PDF the link still works, but jumps now to the top of page 3 and not to the bookmark itself further down. Can you help?

You'll need to re-visit the tag structure in your word doc to make sure Distiller understands what you want.

Regarding Distiller settings for a word to PDF conversion.
The options you specify on this tab determine which items are converted into PDF bookmarks in the PDF.
Important: The Add Bookmarks To Adobe PDF option on the Settings tab must be selected in order to include any bookmarks in the conversion process. If you deselect that option, it overrides any options you select on this tab and no bookmarks will be created.
Convert Word Headings To Bookmarks Selects all the headings in the Elements list for conversion to PDF bookmarks.
Convert Word Styles To Bookmarks Selects all the text styles in the Elements list for conversion to PDF bookmarks. (Deselected by default.)
Convert Word Bookmarks Converts any user-created Word bookmarks to PDF bookmarks.
Element list Specifies which Word headings and styles will be converted as PDF bookmarks.
Element Lists the names of all available Word headings and styles. The icons for Headings and Styles indicate the element types.
Type Also indicates whether the element is a heading or style in the Word document.
Bookmark Displays X’s, indicating whether or not individual elements will be converted to PDF bookmarks. Clicking an individual Bookmark check box changes the selection status for that element.
Level Specifies where the element will fit in the hierarchy structure of the PDF Bookmarks panel. Clicking an individual Level number opens a menu that you can use to change the value.
Note: When some but not all of the available Word headings and styles are selected for conversion to PDF bookmarks, the marker in the corresponding check boxes at the top of the tab change. If all elements of the type are selected, a check mark appears. If only some of the elements of that type are selected, a colored square appears. Otherwise, the check box is empty.
