Re: Cannot generate PDF bookmarks from Word 2002 using Distiller 5.05 (operating-- system XP professional)

[DGoldstein -at- DeusTech -dot- com]

In my previous job, we installed Adobe Distiller 5 (and then 5.05) *after*
we had already installed Word 2002. With Distiller 5, we couldn't get
links from the TOC or Index (in a PDF distilled from Word 2002). Once we
had installed 5.05, we were able to get links from the TOC only -- not the
Index. I spoke with Adobe support and their response was something to the
effect of, "We don't claim to support Word 2002 -- only Word 2000."

In my job before that, we used Word 97 and Distiller 4.05 (as you used
to), and we never had any trouble. Maybe we should all buy new machines
and install old (Office 97) software.
