Karen, I think the best work flow is to work exclusively with the source Frame documents and never resort (as a standard workflow process) to editing the final PDF.
1. You want to do is have the Professors heading *look* like a Heading 1 for text purposes, but you don't want it to generate a "Professors" bookmark. i. Create a new format based on H1 (or whatever it is) and do not use it to generate a bookmark. 2. Now the Professors bookmark goes away, and you need to generate a Faculty bookmark in its stead. i. Create and anchored frame in the "Professors" heading. I like to position these frames Outside the Column so that they don't interfere visually with the text on the page. ii. Inside the anchored draw a textbox, and type "Professors" iii.. Create a new paragraph format for Professors, and use it as the same level as the Faculty bookmark formally was in your PDF Setup. 3. Now "Faculty" will not appear as a bookmark and Professors will. This is great, except now you have a textbox hanging off the Faculty heading that says Professors. That doesn't look good. Here's what you do for that: make it invisible. i. Define a color called INVISIBLE, and then use Color Views to actually make it invisible. (Check Frame's Help if this throws you.) ii. Redefine the Professors paragraph format so that the font color is INVISIBLE, and voila, Professors is gone from the page. (Some people use White instead of an invisible color. That will work only if your documents are always printed on white paper. If the paper is off-white or colored, you'll run into problems.) iii. If you find you need to edit the text in the anchored frame, redefine the color to Red or something else, and then change back to Invisible when you're done. Lastly, I'd urge you to get Shlomo Perets' TimeSavers utility. It's very powerful and is worth its weight, as the saying goes.
