Unable to off create pdf bookmark option in table of content style [IDML]

Hi,

I am creating a new Indesign file with a TOC style named (test-1) defined and then I removed the tick mark from the check box "Create PDF Bookmarks".

And I am exporting the indesign file to an IDML, in the IDML file the check box is in the ticked state.

Whether I am doing anything wrong, any idea is greatly appreciated.

OS: Windows 7

Indesign Version: Indesign CC 2015.4 (11.4.1.102)

    Interesting. Does it matter that it's turned on in the IDML? If it's an IDML I assume that someone else will work on it at some point, so why not instruct them to turn it off when exporting to PDF or whatever final format the piece will be in?

    Best,

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing… Could be a bug in IDML export or IDML import.

    Did not test that yet, so I cannot confirm the behavior right now…

    Regards,
    Uwe

    Ok.I can see this issue also in InDesign CC 2018.1.

    I inspected the exported IDML and the entry clearly says:

    CreateBookmarks="false"

    So it must be an issue of the IDML import filter.

    Regards,

    Uwe

    Thanks for your reply.

    While running my script I am creating TOC entries using a TOCStyle.

    myDoc.createTOC (myTOCStyle, true, undefined, [myTOCPageLeft, myTOCPageTop]);

    In my case I need only TOC entries without bookmarks, so if I am deleting the bookmarks in the next step.

    Due to this TOC links are not working in the generated pdf.
