I am using Acrobat 6.0 to create PDFs with bookmarks and links using the Adobe PDF (PFDMaker 6.0) MS Word (Word 2000) add-in.
I discovered that when the bookmarks in the PDF file are created for headings of the Word file that are numbered using the style formatting option “Bullet and Numbering”, the bookmarks
include only the text part of the heading and not the number part.
I.e. for headings in the Word document like “1. SUMMARY”, “2.INTRODUCTION”, the bookmarks are “SUMMARY”, “INTRODUCTION”, with the numeric part trimmed away.
This happens only when the numbering of the headings is obtained using the formatting option “Bullet and Numbering”, while does not happen when the numeric sequence element is part of the text of the heading.
Can you suggest how to obtain that the PDF bookmarks include the numeric part of a heading even if it’s built from a Word heading numbered using the “Bullet and Numbering” formatting option?
Many thanks in advance for your precious help!
Best regards,
Armando

I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Word 2007 and have gone through all the Create Acrobe PDF settings applicable to generating bookmarks from Word headings and ensured that the heading styles are default headings and are set as multilevel and still do not get the number appearing in the PDF output (bookmark). Anyone have this experience? Better yet, anyone have this experience and found a solution?

Shelly

I am having the same problem as Shelley. My headings use Styles and are in outlined number form. Didn't have a problem with Acrobat 8, interestingly.
I'm am pulling out my hair. Any advice appreciated.

The version of Word is important, I believe. I have Word 2007 and there is no way to do automatic heading numbering within the Heading styles. There is only one way to do heding numbering, but to choose the multilevel lists on the toolbar. Therefore, the heading numbering is not being incuded in the bookmarks. If anyone has a solution, please post. You're a genious if so. I'll keep trying, myself.
I am going to post a new question as well. This is an old posting.

Natelle,
Not sure if this is on the mark - but, heading numbering out of Word can be reflected in PDF Bookmarks.
An Acrobat 9 Portfolio at the thread below is an attempt to demonstrate this.

Using bullets and numbering applied to a Word heading isn't the same as outline numbered headings.
In order to make the headings convert properly to numbered bookmarks you have to create styles for them. Before you convert the Word doc, be sure to select the headings in the Bookmarks tab of the PDFMaker dialog box rather than leaving the default Word Styles selection.
