Hi all, I have a process I engage in after creating a PDF in Frame that is tedious and time consuming and has to be repeated each time the PDF is revised. It would be great if I could configure Frame to give me the results I require, or install a plug-in for Frame or Acrobat to automate the process.
Is there a way to set Frame to generate a numbered or lettered top-level bookmark for each chapter or appendix in a book that displays the target page from the top of the page down instead of from the title down, create unnumbered bookmarks for TOC, LOT, LOF that display the same way, and create unnumbered level 2/level 3 bookmarks for heading 1/heading 2 titles that display the page from the title down? If not, is there a plug-in for Frame or Acrobat that would automate or at least streamline doing something like this? Currently I enable bookmark generation in Frame 9 on my PC so my PDF is generated with bookmarks for the TOC, LOT, LOF, each chapter/appendix, heading 1, and heading 2. Clicking on a generated bookmark in the PDF displays the bookmarked page in "fit page width view," with the title at the top and about 2/3 of the page below it. This is perfect for heading 1/heading 2 bookmarks. But for TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix bookmarks I want it to display the top of the page where the chapter number/appendix letter and company logo are. To get it to do that I follow the following process with Acrobat tools for each TOC/LOT/LOF/chapter/appendix: 1. Click on the chapter bookmark to display the first page of the chapter. 2. Click on the toolbar button to display the full page 3. Click on the toolbar button to display the fit page width view. This results in displaying the page the way I want it, with the chapter number and company logo showing at the top. 4. Right-click on the bookmark. 5. Select "Set Destination" from the menu 6. Click OK. This results in the bookmark displaying the page the way I want, but could mess up the reader's desired zoom level. Not done yet! 7. Right-click again on the bookmark. 8. Select "Properties" from the menu 9. Click on the Actions tab 10. Click on the Edit button 11. Select "Inherit Zoom" in the Zoom drop down box 12. Click OK to accept the change and OK again to close the dialog box. Now the bookmark displays the page the way I want and the way the reader wants, but I'm still not quite done! 13. If this is a chapter or appendix, click on the bookmark to select it. It turns blue when it is selected. 14. Click on the bookmark again to edit it 15. Place the cursor at the beginning of the bookmark 16. Type in the appropriate chapter number or appendix letter for that bookmark 17. Repeat steps 1-12 for each TOC/LOT/LOF and 1-16 for each chapter/appendix 18. Phew! Now I'm done, but I've sure had to jump through a lot of hoops to get there! Any help would be vastly appreciated by me and my coworkers! Pete
