Exactly. You wouldn't have to go overboard with it. They're bookmarks. You don't need to make an index.

I don't have the midnight PDF so I can't comment on it, but the Arcana Evolved has 237 or there about things book marked. I have no idea if that's a lot or a littel, but that's a lot more then just chapter headlines. Most companies that I get PDFs from that are serouis about their PDFs do way more then chapter headlines.

If I rmember correctly, a huge number of those are skills, spells and feats, which Midnight has very few of.
Just a guess, but I figure you could sufficiently bookmark M2E with about 75-100 bookmarks.

Most of the Arcana Evolved bookmarks are headlines. The mid-level ones, to be precise. Additionally, skills, feats and spells have some alphabetical bookmarks (11-19 subdivisions). As a well structured document has already its hierarchical headline layers predefined from writing, that's hardly any work, except those letter divisions, which have to be defined by hand.Crothian said:
Edit: You must predefine this structure in order to create the table of contents. The bookmarks just mirror the table of contents (except abovementioned letters).

As others have mentioned, it seems FFG is more interested in book sales and mainly provides the pdf for those who can't get the book.
The cost of the pdf is not only how much work it took to create the pdf from the material, but also all the work writing the material and producing the art in the first place. Just because there is no physical product the supply does not become free.
I've purchased computer games as downloads, and they were the same price as or just under retail. There was literally no extra work for the computer game company, but they did not want to undercut their sales through other forms of distribution.
