Question

PDF bookmark out of order

Hello to those with great FM skills,

I am saving a FM file as a PDF. The document has 7 sections with a few sub sections. All is well in the PDF except, the first section in the document is ending up last in the bookmarks sidebar of the PDF. It doesn't matter what I select in the PDF Setup dialog box. I've tried Thread by Column, Thread by Text Frame, and unchecked without success. The FM paragraph tags for each title are the same. It's a one-column doc with a left side head. The section titles begin in the side head and continue into the column. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Frances

Is the content that is appearing out of order in the same Text Flow as the other content?

The PDF setup only specifies hierarchy and doesn't control the order of the internal content.

Thank you, Arnis! I thought it was all the same text flow, but it isn't because I have some sections beginning on the master page. Finally problem solved. However, is there a way to have bookmarks that begin on a master page  show up first?

Unfortunately not. Content on a Master Page is not considered "live" content by FM and is ignored for all generated operations. You need to re-evaluate your design so that either the flows ae in the correct order or everything is in the same flow.
