Jenn,

I recently had a similar task and was able to come up with a method for generating a pdf document out of a bunch of pdf documents (1 page each) and inserting the bookmarks for each page. The bookmark and file names are input into my spreadsheet and at the click of a button, a new (combined) pdf file is created with bookmarks to each page.

That was pretty easy to do. The difficult part was figuring out how to handle updating/adding specific sheets and regenerating bookmarks in the proper order. In coming up with a solution, I wanted to avoid having to use any pricey third-party plug ins. If you don't have this limitation, there are some plug-ins that help out with such tasks. Unfortunately, Adobe is really lacking when it comes to controlling bookmarks via its interface and VBA/COM.

At any rate, let me know if you are still looking for a solution to your problem and I can try to help.

Regards,

Chad
