Greetings

I have a long Word document with custom made styles that i use for headings and creating the TOC. On a previous verison i created the PDF specifying the first 3 levels of the word styles as the bookmarks and it worked perfectly. Now when I do it i get additional characters in the beginning of the bookmark title and the action is inconsistent, ie when i click first time it goes nearly to the right place, then when i click again it goes to completely the wrong place. i have added 3 pics, would appreciste any help please!!. so in the first pic you see the bookmarks in the PDF file, but there is a "0B" added before "Background" as well as the next 2. This is not in the level 1 headings and also not in the original word doc as shown in the other pics

"0B" is the Unicode UTF-8 decimal character that corresponds to today's hexadecimal codepoint "000B", which is a line tabulation control.

Can you tell us what character(s) create the white space between the digits and first letters in your 3rd sample above? Is it a tab? Special kind of space? Something else?

hi there so just an update on this based on my own attempts. I tried searching on the additional characters and i found they came up in word and matched directly with the strange bookmarks in the created PDF. See the picture below, but what is really strange is if you look in the font you will see a "ZWAdobeF" font which is when i click on the very beginning of the title in the actual word document. when i click in the middle of the title i get the normal font that it should be
