Hiding bookmarks in PDFs

By default, bookmarks are created for all documents that have grouping and for all multi-layout documents. The bookmark panel is automatically shown when the PDF is viewed. You can specify that the bookmark panel is hidden when the document is viewed as a PDF. The bookmarks are still generated but they are not displayed automatically when the PDF opens.
