If not Tuesday, then by the end of the week. Depends on how long it takes me to finish the layout and put in the bookmarks.
Are you manually putting in bookmarks? If so, what layout program are you using that you need do this?
I am insane (or just cheap) and do not own Acrobat. I use Word and a print driver to create postscript and then manually add the bookmarks (from a table word generates to another file) to the postscript. It doesn't take more than a hour to do this way. I just have to spend the time getting word to included everything I want in the list of bookmarks. Generally I start with heading levels 1-3 and then add stuff from there. In Joe's Book of Enchantment, I included every magic item (no headings) in the bookmark list.
This time around, I plan to include an alphabetical table of feats in the bookmarks since feats appear throughout the text. Would Acrobat make this easier to do? JBoE had two meta-levels of bookmarks, the table of contents and the table of tables. I've never seen that done in other PDFs.
The convenient thing about this is that it's repeatable. Once I have the bookmarks in a separate file, I can make minor revisions to the book in Word and reapply the bookmarks to the postscript in seconds as long as the pagination hasn't changed.
Nothing I have heard about Acrobat has made me think it would save me significant time.

(Oh, and the implied delay in my post has more to do with placing artwork and stuff than making bookmarks.)
