PDF bookmarks are a must for the usability and navigability of longer documents. When these bookmarks are created programmatically, they are based on a template created using a combination of user settings and the content of the source document or web page. Since not all such documents were created with PDF bookmarks in mind, cleaning up the resulting bookmark titles can become an important part of the QA process. In this tip, ARTS PDF Product Manager Maryanne Montes takes some of the pain out of this process.

PDF's cross-platform nature makes it very portable, but it also means that there are many different kinds of users and setup configurations.

This function is very useful, but it breaks up the bookmark tree of the final document, which can be a highly manual task to correct.
