Acrobat bookmark settings not saved

[FieryPantone]

FM 9.0p255, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 9.4.1 – every time I go to save a book as .pdf, I now have to respecify the bookmark options. Don't remember noticing this before, and it would certainly have irritated me enough to prompt a posting! What's going on?

Niels,

This problem plagued me for a long time also.

I open the FIRST file in the book, set the bookmarks, and print it to the Adobe PDF printer. Save the file and close it if you want.

Now print the book file to Adobe PDF. In the Print dialog, open the Acrobat settings and check the bookmarks settings; they should be the same as set for the first file. If not, correct. The next time you print to PDF, the bookmarks should be correct; HOWEVER, I always check each time I make the PDF.

I should note that for other reasons, I typically never print the book but only selected files in the book. When I close the Acrobat settings dialog, I believe (but not sure) that Frame saves these settings in all the selected files. But my assumption in all this is that FrameMaker looks in the first file of the book for its current bookmark settings.

Hope this helps. It at least works for me.

I thought I remembered seeing some trick to make this work - something like specifying the PDF settings on the first document of the book - the book then picks up the settings off the first doc & uses that?
