Subject:Re: Automatic bookmarks from Word file From:Terry Barron <tbarron -at- SYSTEMS -dot- DHL -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 30 Jul 1999 10:38:49 -0700
Download the free Acrobat Plug-in, PDFMaker, from www.adobe.com. This
plug-in works with Word97 and Acrobat 3.01. It automatically converts
heading styles to bookmarks, TOC links to topics, and cross-references
to targeted text. I think Acrobat 4.0 has this feature built-in.
