I'm not sure if I understand, but I think you should work the other way
round: create the PDF with outlines (what you call bookmarks).
Then before you close the document decide if the bookmarks have to be
kept. If not:
if (noBookmarksNeeded) {
writer.getRootOutline().setKids(new ArrayList());
}
This removes all the kids from the root element of the outline tree,
so no bookmarks will be added to the PDF.
