Re: ToC and/or bookmarks in PDF

How are the PDFs actually generated, and where do the bookmarks come from?
If each Word doc becomes a PDF with functioning TOC and bookmarks, I'd expect the TOCs to work if the PDFs were simply concatenated.
But maybe you have more at play here?

It's common to distribute PDFs without TOC, but are you sure you can't
generate a TOC with links?

Hi all,

We have large (~1000-page) manuals as PDFs with bookmarks. The ToC is not clickable (because each chapter is born as a separate Word file) and this annoys some users. In your experience, is it acceptable to provide a ToC-less manual, with bookmark navigation only? Manuals are not printed.
