An earlier post showed an easy keyboard shortcut for creating bookmarks. Here’s an even easier method of creating a PDF from a Word document, where the bookmarks, practically, create themselves. And the beauty of it is that it preserves the outline hierarchy (i.e. creates indented bookmarks) as defined in your document.

Note: The document must either be in outline format (with Heading styles), or formatted with Word-generated bookmarks.

Converting your Word Document into a PDF with Bookmarks

2. On the Save As dialog, in the File name area, enter the file name.
3. Click the Save as type drop-down and select PDF (*.pdf).
4. Click Options…
   
5. Check Create bookmarks using: and select Headings.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Save.

Cheers!
