With everything that Adobe can do, can we print bookmarks? I mean the actual index you've set up to bookmark a document? We have several documents that need to be bookmarked in the same style and don't always remember how we set things up. Thanks.

Although there's no way to do this directly in Acrobat, there is a workaround via JavaScript. There is a sample in the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference, which can be viewed and dowloaded from [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat[/url]. Here's the code that can be run from most events, such as a custom menu selection or a page action. It will dump the bookmarks and their hierarchy into the Acrobat JavaScript console, which you can copy and paste. Roll up your sleeves now...

function DumpBookmark(bkm, nLevel){var s = "";for (var i = 0; i < nLevel; i++) s += " ";console.println(s + "+-" + bkm.name);if (bkm.children != null)for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)DumpBookmark(bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1);}console.clear(); console.show();console.println("Dumping all bookmarks in the document.");DumpBookmark(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
Hope that helps,
