We've just discovered a problem with PDFs created through PDFMaker and I'm wondering if anyone else is (has) experienced the same thing. Part of my staff uses Word 2003 and part use Word 2007. All of us use Acrobat 8.0 (Standard and Professional). Our operating system on all the machines is XP Professional.
When a PDF is created from Word using PDFMaker, the heading bookmark links in the embedded TOC do not always take you to the appropriate section heading; however, click the same heading in the TOC tab (to the left of the document) and everything works great. For example. Click a Heading 1 link in the embedded TOC and you go to the associates Heading 1. Click anything beyond a Heading 1 link in the embedded TOC and you go to the top of the page where the associated Heading is located. If you open the TOC tab located to the left of the document and click the same Headings, you go to the correct Heading location in the document..a Heading 2 link takes you to the correct associated Heading 2 title, and so on. I tried a Google search, a Microsoft Knowledge Base search, and an Adobe Knowledge Base search to no avail. The answers I got did not address the problem I listed. I am having someone outside of our group create a PDF using one of our offending files. They are using Office 2000 on an XP Pro machine. If that works, then we have a workaround, but what I am looking for is a solution. Has anyone experienced bookmark problems with PDFMaker and what was your solution.
