Reply to: RE>Automated insertion of PDF markers from MS Word

There is a macro for Word 6.0a.
It lists the following as features:
> Table of Contents linking
> Footnote Linking
> Automatic Bookmarking
> Automatic Article Threading (for Distiller 2.x only)
> Automatic Distilling
> Summary info translation (for Distiller 2.x only)
I received a copy from an Adobe Sales rep.

To all:

I have a requirement to create Acrobat Bookmarks and/or other links in an
automated manner; the manual method of inserting these with Acrobat Exchange
is too time-consuming and error-prone to consider for the many thousands of
such Bookmarks that I will have to create.

Starting with a MS Word for Windows DOC file, my goal is to create Bookmarks
in the final PDF file that correspond with specific Headings (including the
Headings' texts) in the DOC file.

Kurt Levitan's message (included below) implies that there is a way to
automatically create these links from within the DOC file.

I've called Adobe Tech Support, and they claim that (a) they would not have
sent out such a macro and (b) this capability doesn't exist (as far as they
know) from within Word.

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here?

I'd really like to know if I'm chasing a dead-end trail, or if there is some
hope of an automated solution.

Thanks,

Adobe does have a very nice Word for Windows macro that can convert a table of

contents and other types of links in to PDF links. I don't know if they
officially support this macro but you can call them about it.
