Let's be generous and say that's a problem with Acrobat 4 (I don't think it is, but still). According to Adobe, that means the following users couldn't see the bookmarks:- Anybody on Mac OS before 8.6That's all. Basically every other operating system for which Adobe makes Acrobat Reader can use version 5, 6, or 7. Now, I really think Acrobat 4 can see bookmarks*, which raises the following question in my mind: who is unwilling to upgrade from Acrobat 3?* Any users of Acrobat 4, please feel free to verify this for me. I'd kind of like to know.I've produced a couple PDFs with bookmarks, and I don't think 5% is justified. I might be biased, because I don't find that a decent set of bookmarks is that difficult for me to create; in fact, once I had a project or three under my belt, the process I'd developed made pretty good bookmarks as basically a side effect of generating the PDF in the first place. The process does require a disciplined approach to the book's outline in the publication/word processing software, but as I'm more or less compulsive that way, it works out all right for me.In both Word and InDesign, the secret is to assiduously apply the paragraph styles which denote outline levels. Once you've done that, generating bookmarks at, at minimum, the Table of Contents level is just a matter of making sure one of the checkboxes in Acrobat is checked. (I don't know if it's more trouble without at least Word and Acrobat, so keep in mind I have access to the "right" software.)So I prefer to see bookmarks in a PDF I've purchased (and so do most people, or so I heard after my first PDF went up for sale without them; oops).</blockquote>
