[DITA] Removing section number from PDF bookmarks

Hi all,

Anyone had an issue where the PDF from a ditamap (using Publish panel) has numbering applied to the PDF bookmarks?

If the numbers were incrementing, I could live with it, but these are all showing as 1. as shown in uploaded image.

Ideally, the numbers would not display at all.

I figured it out, and here's the solution for those that run into the same issue:

In Fm 2019, using the Publish panel, the DITA Base template file had numbering specified for the Title.0 paragraph tag
Interestingly, the topic template didn't have numbering specified, so the issue didn't appear when outputting a single file to PDF...only when producing PDF from ditamap.
By exporting the DITA Base template, removing the autonumber, saving, and importing the file back into the Publish settings, the file stored in the STS is now updated.

I hope this helps someone else!!!
