Specifying that bookmarks are not generated for 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 bookmarks are not generated for the PDF. For example, you might not want bookmarks if the PDF includes an interactive table of contents.

To specify that bookmarks are not generated

This procedure affects the entire document, including all layouts of a multi-layout document. For more information on multi-layout documents, including which properties apply to the document as a whole or to individual layouts, see Creating multi-layout documents.

3. Click Export.

4. In the PDF area, clear the Include bookmarks in PDF check box.

5. Click OK to return to the document.

To view the PDF, click PDF View on the toolbar. The PDF does not display bookmarks.
