I have MS Word 2013 and MS Print to PDF for creating PDF documents. I use heading styles for creating headings in my document and I can see them in Word's navigation pane. I'd like to have these headings in PDF navigation pane as well. How can I achieve this? Now when I print my document into PDF, I loose these headings from navigation pane in PDF doc!
There is no need for third party tools, just use the Save As dialog. Choose PDF as the 'Save as type' and click the large 'Options' button at the bottom of the dialog. In the Options dialog check 'Create bookmarks using' and ensure that 'Headings' is selected. Click OK
Word will even remember your choices and set them as the default for when you do it again.
Don't use MS Print to PDF; the print stream doesn't have enough information in it to create these navigational aides. Adobe Acrobat DC, as well as several other PDF creation products (Foxit, Nitro, Nuance) use macros that will interpret the styles and the navigation tree in Word to create bookmarks and set the initial view of the PDF to launch with the bookmarks open.
Aside from that this is not so much a question for Stack Overflow, rather for its "Superuser" sibling, here is another solution for you:
In MS Word, switch your view to "Outline view". This let's you then select the level of headlines to be displayed (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3...) - provided of course you use such structured headlines (only a minority of Word users do).
Say, you want only top-level headlines displayed, then set Outline View to "Level 1".
Then simply print that page to Pdf, and there you are: the pdf shows only your headlines.
If you want to show headlines down to the third level, simply choose Level 3 to be displayed.
Here is a screenshot from Word 2010 in Outline view with only top levle headlines displayed:
Note that the Pdf will not have the +-marks in front of the paragraphs. They are control buttons that do not print.

This question is about PDF format files, not JS or HTML. Inside a PDF file, I'd like to create a link to another page within the same file. This is useful for Table of Contents type page that needs to link to other pages. But the "Add Link" item in PDF editor in Acrobat doesn't seem to have this as an option -- only the opening of web links, or "documents" (external files, not the current one), etc. Welcome any pointers.
Of course, that's possible.
In the Link tool, you first set the active area (that's where you click to go to the destination.
In a first dialog, Acrobat asks for the properties of the active area. In the Link Action area, select Go to a page view. After clicking on Next, you get a next dialog, directing you to navigate to the target view (page and zoom factor). Confirm, and you have set up your link…
This is a foxpro application, but the question more about pdf parameters, so applies to .Net Webrowser control
this.ie1.navigate2(xurl + "#toolbar=1&zoom=100&navpanes=0&statusbar=0")
Is there any possibility to show the top toolbar, but have the right panel ( Export pdf , Convert , Create PDF and etc ) immediately collapsed without clicking on a triangle.
PDF Open Parameters cannot control the right panel, only the left.

In InDesign I can define buttons and can add different actions to them. One of these actions is "go to page", but apparently that function is only usable when exporting the InDesign document as an SWF. However, we want to export an interactive PDF.
When we open the exported PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional we can touch up each and every button in the document and set the page to the page we want, but this is of course extremely tedious work, especially when you have several proving runs.
So, my question is: how do I get my buttons in InDesign to jump to a specific page without having to do the touch up late in Adobe Acrobat Professional? Surely it must be possible to navigate between pages?!
I stumbled on this issue a while back too, and i figured out how to link to a place in an interactive PDF document via Buttons:
1) Create Bookmarks on the pages you want to link to. (I usually make a text in the top of the page in 'paper color' and create a bookmark from that)
2) Button action "Go to destination" -> Bookmark
Hope this helps...
Make a box in inDesign.
Select the box.
Open Hyperlink panel
"Create a hyperlink destination" I use the page number
Then go to the page in your inDesign document where you want to make the button.
Make a box and select it
Open hyperlinkpanel "Make hyperlink" and choose the destination you made using the pulldown (not the page number counter, that didn't work for me).
interactiv->Hyperlink and You choose "New Hyperlink destination" from menu in top-right dropdown menu. And choose page.
I tried sometime but now i know the deal (on CS5 on Windows). I only have the German version so maybe i´ll label some things wrong:
When you create your button and determine the "action" you´ll get a list with available options. Here the upper options work in PDF and SWF, but some options are available "only in swf" and "only in pdf.
"Go to a certain page" is not available in PDF :(
So you have to edit the document via Acrobat.
Another thing: When writing an interactive pdf-file use the option "Export..." under "File", here you chose "Adobe PDF (Interactive)" under filetype.
Maybe (as a thought) there is a way to use Javascript in InDesign and/or Acrobat to assign the buttons automatically.
I'm using SSRS 2008, and in visual studio during preview, then save to pdf. the bookmarks don't export, or atleast the PDF reader dosn't think there are any (in Adobe Reader, click Document - Navigation - Bookmark (but bookmarks is missing))
Has anybody ever exported thier SSRS bookmarks with the report? And had them working?
Thanks
You have to use the DocumentMapLable available in Properties.
Here's the documentationf or PDF export for SSRS 2008 R2
Document Map
If there are any document map labels present in the report, a document outline is added to the PDF file. Each document map label appears as an entry in the document outline in the order that it appears in the report. In Acrobat, a target bookmark is added to the document outline only if the page it is on is rendered.
If only a single page is rendered, no document outline is added. The document map is arranged hierarchically to reflect the level of nesting in the report. The document outline is accessible in Acrobat under the Bookmarks tab. Clicking an entry within the document outline causes the document to go to the bookmarked location.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are not supported in PDF rendering.
We have a downloadable PDF file which looks great at 72% magnification in Adobe Reader and not so good at 101%. When downloaded and opened in the reader, its default magnification is 101%.
Is there a way to define the default magnification in the PDF file itself so that we ensure the best user experience?
Thank you!
If you can control the URL used to download, you can put parameters in the URL to control how the built-in reader will display the file.
For example, http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50 will set the magnification to 50%.
See: https://www.evermap.com/AutoBookmark/Manual/OpenParameters.htm
The above applies to the built-in reader supplied by Adobe. Other readers may not honor the parameters. In particular, see the answer to this question regarding Chrome.
An example of how to define magnification when opening a file (regardless of the default one):
AcroRd32 /A "zoom=50=OpenActions" sh.pdf
First, this is a programming website, so you should identify a programming context. This question will probably be closed because it belongs on the soon to be launched serverfault.com
To set the default magnification, you need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional not Reader to have the ability to edit pdfs. Then when you open the document, click File | Properties. Click the Initial View tab and enter 72% in the magnification text box and click ok. Save your pdf and reopen it. It should default to 72% magnification when it is opened.
Note: I am unsure if other open source pdf editors provide this type of functionality.
Update: Standard doesn't work for saving magnifications.
For Adobe Standard, go to "Edit" then "Preferences."
When you click on the "Page Display" tab on the left, you'll see a panel with a field called "Zoom," where you can select a percentage from a drop-down menu.
If the above suggestions are not working it may be because the bookmarks can contain zoom instructions in their properties. To look at the bookmark properties select a bookmark in the bookmark panel and right click it to open properties. Choose actions. There should be a description of actions that will be applied when clicking on the bookmark.
The best solution I have found is that you can add a subsequent property for zoom instructions that will execute following the initial one, and set the page zoom to your specifications. To do this, select all of the bookmarks, right click to open properties, then actions, then choose the add function. After choosing add, find the zoom instruction that is the best fit for what you are looking for.
If you want to edit the initial zoom instruction through the edit function in bookmark properties on all bookmarks, you cannot select all, because, although the zoom will be set correctly, every bookmark will be set to one bookmark page. If you wish to edit the properties this way you must edit each, one by one.
