PDF with Bookmark Tree Collapsed to appropriate level on opening? How?

I have a PDF where there were no bookmarks so I created Bookmarks as per outline / like a Table of Contents. Now, whenever I open this PDF all the bookmarks are expanded.

I have another PDF from another source that shows bookmarks which are partially expanded / partially collapsed i.e. As if the maker of the PDF had chosen the STATE of Bookmark Tree for Initial opening.

How can I do the same for this first PDF? How can I make the bookmarks Collapsed to a certain state when I open the PDF?

Some authoring applications permit selection of some basic Bookmarks expansion.
Alternatively, the content author can post-process the PDF's Bookmarks to establish a desired expansion layout.
Doing so, then doing a Save As will "set" the layout.
