RoboHelp 2017 - In PDF generation, how can I avoid getting XE fields polluting my Bookmarks

Hi everyone. I finally got enough time to dig in and figure this out by using my own script to clean this up in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015. In case anyone else is still on an older tech comm suite like I am, and also needs to do this, here are my steps.

(Note: You can find somewhat related screen captures for some these steps from my earlier post on Aug 25 above.):

1. Open Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (I'm using version 2015).
2. From Tools, access the Action Wizard tool.
3. From the Action Wizard's toolbar, click New Action.
4. From the Create New Action dialog box, from the the left pane expand More Tools, then select Execute JavaScript.
5. Click the + (right arrow) button between the two panes to add that action to the Action steps to show pane (the right pane).
6. From the right pane, click Specify Settings to show a JavaScript Editor.
7. Paste the script code below into the editor and click OK.
8. Click Save and a Save Action dialog box appears.
9. Fill in the Action Name box with a name, like "Clean XE from Bookmarks".
10. Fill in the Action Description with an description, like "This deletes bookmarks that have Word XE fields in them."
11. Click Save to save the action with the description and name to the Actions List pane on the right.
12. From the Actions List pane, click on the Clean XE Bookmarks action you added.
13. From the action that appears in the right pane, click Add Files to show a Select Files to Process dialog box.
14. Use this open dialog box to navigate through your file system to a folder that contains additional PDFs that you want to clean up. Select them, and click Open to add them to this action you're about to perform.
15. Click Start to run the javascript code.

Script Code I Used

// This script runs on Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015. 
// It finds and deletes any bookmark from the pdf that 
// matches the conditions of both having "XE" and "MERGEFORMAT" not work on later versions.
// Use at your own risk. It works for me and removes my polluted bookmarks. - Jared

function deletePollutedBookmarks(bookmark,condition1,condition2) {
    if (bookmark) {

      // Gets the title of the current bookmark
      var bookmarkTitle = bookmark.name;
  
      // Checks if the bookmark title contains both "XE" and "MERGEFORMAT" strings
      if (bookmarkTitle.indexOf(condition1) !== -1 && bookmarkTitle.indexOf(condition2) !== -1) {
        
        // Deletes the current bookmark
        bookmark.remove();
        console.println("Deleted polluted bookmark: " + bookmarkTitle);
        return true; // true indicates that a bookmark was deleted
      }
  
      // Check if the current bookmark has any child bookmarks
      if (bookmark.children && bookmark.children.length > 0) {
        // Recursively check child bookmarks
        for (var i = 0; i < bookmark.children.length; i++) {
          if (deletePollutedBookmarks(bookmark.children[i], condition1, condition2)) {
            // If a bookmark is deleted in the child, return true to indicate the deletion
            return true;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  
    // If no polluted bookmark is found, return false
    return false;
  }
  
  // MAIN PROGRAM starts here
  // First we get the root of the bookmarks tree
  var bookmarkRoot = this.bookmarkRoot;
  
  // We check if bookmarks are available in the PDF
  if (bookmarkRoot) {
    
    // If so, we define the variables
    var deleted;
    var condition1 = "XE";
    var condition2 = "MERGEFORMAT";

    // This loop starts checking for affected bookmarks and it continues looping until there are no more found
    do {
        // calls the function and passes the condition parameters into it. The deleted variable gets the "true" result once deletion finishes
      deleted = deletePollutedBookmarks(bookmarkRoot,condition1,condition2);
    } while (deleted);
    console.println("Polluted bookmarks were checked and deleted.");
  } else {
    // If there is no bookmark root
    console.println("No bookmarks available in this PDF.");
  }
