How to create PDFs with bookmarks in Mac OSX

[swVice]

My problem is I can't create a .pdf from a .docx document and retain the bookmarks associated with the table of content (index, titles, subtitles and so on).

I'm using Microsoft Word 2016 for Mac (version 15.28) and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (version 2015.20.20042). The "creating pdf" utiliti that adobe pro includes just redirects me to the "export to pdf" utility in Word. And this utitility is really poor (can only print to pdf with bookmarks documents smaller than 20MB).

How can I export and retain my bookmarks?

Thank you in advanced

As far as I know, the automated bookmark creation is not supported on the Mac. Microsoft apparently never included that capability in the Mac version of Word.

Since I too often need PDFs with bookmarks, I typically copy the final document to a Windows computer (or a Windows virtual machine on my Mac) and generate the PDF on that platform. Unfortunately, that requires a compatible version of Office and Acrobat on that other computer.

That is not acceptable! Adobe used to have a way to create very detailed PDFs, originating the process in Acrobat. Considering how many people use Mac for Adobe software, Adobe should provide a workaround.
