FrameMaker Conversion to PDF not Displaying All Bookmarks in Word

When I convert my Frame book to PDF, it appears fine. I added a watermark to the PDF. When I convert the PDF to Word, many of the first and last section bookmarks are missing.

 

Clues?

 

Thanks!

    Sure, saves one step.

     


    And, hopefully, gives you clean bookmarks since the issue seems to have been created during the conversion of the PDF with watermark to Word.

    Hi,

     

    I am not sure, what you do and why.

    You have a book in FrameMaker, and you create a PDF successfully.

    Then you add a watermark in Acrobat or another PDF editor.

    And then you convert the PDF to Word. What is missing now? The bookmarks of the PDF are just handles, so that you can jump to a specific section.

    Or are these sections missing.

    I assume this is not a FrameMaker question, but an Acrobat question. You should post your question in the Acrobat forum. Also add info like your application and the version.

     

    Best regards

    You are right. When coverting the FrameMaker file to PDF the bookmarks are fine. The problem occured when a watermark was added to Arobat PDF. During the PDF export the Word, many of the bookmarks in the PDF did not display in the Word file. So Arobat was, in fact, the problem. So, I added a watermark to the PDF AFTER coverting the PDF to Word. Then I had to add the watermark separately to Word, in addition to the PDF watermark.

    Thanks!
