Why are the wrong paragraphs included when I do a Save As PDF

I'm using FrameMaker 12 and Acrobat Pro XI. When I do a 'Save As PDF' from a book and select the bookmarks I want, and arrange their hierarchy etc. Acrobat includes paragraphs formats that I did not select. For example, it seems to include a random selection of TOC entries, which I DID NOT select to be included.

I've gone back and double-checked that all paragraphs have the correct formats, but it keeps happening.

Also, once I've generated the PDF, the PDF settings I chose don't seem to save correctly. In other words, every time I do a 'Save as PDF' I have to select the paragraphs formats I want to include as bookmarks again; it seems to have saved some of them, but not all of them.


Any ideas?

Correct answer Arnis Gubins

The bookmark information (i.e. PDF Setup information) is saved with each file/book, so if you've saved the file, these settings should also be saved. Try to use the Format > Document > PDF Setup... option to set things th way you want in the book and then save the book. Are the correct settings now maintained the next time you open the book and need to create a PDF?

Thanks Arnis. That worked. Seems so obvious in hind sight (one of the "Duh!" problems). I usually save by book file, then generate the PDF without having to resave the book, which is why my PDF settings kept getting lost. It's all working well now.
