Hello Thank you for the feature request. I am unsure. Perhaps their might be a way to export bookmarks.

Do you want them as links in the pdf or what do you mean by export?

Hi,

Maybe I didn't explain correctly. Just to have an option to generate bookmarks.

This is Adobe reference pdf with bookmarks as seen on picture below:

That would be just perfect, even though the app is awesome without that.

Best regards

Thanks for the update.

Could you let me know what you need to do in a word document (via the UI) to get it to export bookmarks in a created pdf. Once I have that information I can figure out how to get docto to export to the pdf also.

There is an option when you choose export to pdf:

Great - that is really helpful.

I will see what I can do.

    ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= _
    "D:\DocumentsFolder\Documents\sasfasfsadf.pdf", ExportFormat:= _
    wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=True, OptimizeFor:= _
    wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, _
    Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _
    CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _
    BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False

I guess this could be the default? Is there any reason anyone would not want bookmarks?

[DrrMrr]

I also think so. I don't see the problem if this is by default or only this option is available.

I have this working I'll try and push a PR over the weekend.
