With respect to PDF bookmarks: using TimeSavers, you can define custom bookmarks (or multiple sets of custom bookmarks) that appear every time the PDF is created. You can control all aspects of these bookmarks as part of the specification (text/appearance/targets etc.).
The custom bookmarks can be defined through a configuration file (in which case, nothing is changed in the source FM file) and/or through custom markers in the specific FM file. Standard bookmarks as generated by FM (pointing to paragraphs in the same PDF) are handled as usual, through the PDF Setup dialog box in FrameMaker.

Help with a (fun) project, maybe? Hi Framers, I have an Access database which holds records for a crime fiction story, collaboratively written by a number of authors. On a repeating basis, I need to "publish" this story in a form which I can then attach to a website so that readers (and the collaborating authors) can see how the story is doing. Originally I posted each author as webpage using basic html, unremarkably named "Chapter X", but now I'm moving the story around, so I would like to maintain the story in only one place, i.e. in the Access database. I am unable to use any of Access' tools for exporting to XML or Text or Excel and import into either Word or Frame. (They all fail). I am able to export directly from an Access report to a pdf but this has the disadvantage that I manually have to add Bookmarks, etc., so I am thinking of getting the data into Frame and then using MicroType's Frame-to-Acrobat tools. The story itself is in BookComponent.StoryText. The order of the BookComponents is goverened by BookComponent.Sortnum. Any advice? Thanks, Theresa P.S.
