My document is tightly structured, using a Heading 1 to start each chapter
and for nothing else. I have many links to these chapters. I convert the
document to PDF for use. Some of the links end up taking the user to the end
of the page before the Heading 1 used for the chapter title. How can I fix
this? I had imagined there would be some way to display the automatically
generated bookmark for the chapter title. When I show bookmarks, including
hidden ones, it doesn't seem to show the bookmark so I can't figure what's
going wrong.

PDF conversions can be a buggar sometimes, but...

First off, there's no real bookmark employed for the cross-references to
styles; it's all internal and behind the scenes. However, this is probably a
bit of a red herring.

The behaviour you describe is most likely due to manually inserted page
breaks before the heading. If these were inserted after the heading style
was applied, the "bookmark" spans the page break as well. One solution is to
remove and reapply the style, which then repositions the "bookmark" to
exclude the page break. If your document is structured to always have a
chapter start on a new page - not an unusual configuration - then it might
be best to update the Heading 1 style to include a page break before, which
would eliminate the possibility of the behaviour recurring.

It this doesn't fix the problem, post back.

Gordon-you are THE MAN! You correctly guessed that I inserted manual
pagebreaks before each Heading 1. I did indeed revise the Heading 1 style to
include a page break before, then deleted all the manual page breaks. Works
like a charm. I'm adding you to my Channukah list and promise to be nice to
you for the rest of the day.

Cheers,

Glad I could help Tom. I'll return your kind thoughts and include you in my
next metta bhavana meditation.
