Styles, PDF, Bookmarks

L

Les Winberg

I have been asked to make PDF files of all of our existing
Word manuals. I usually work in FrameMaker and it is great
fro PDF.

The problem is that each writer from each department has
done their own thing in Word and there is no real template
with styles, heading etc.

Don't I need headings or styles to automatically generate
bookmarks for TOCs and the PDFs etc??

I have experimented and can give styles to existing
headings (usually just bold numbered text) and it seems to
work OK.

Is there a real guideline for such a job??

Is there a method.?

This problem made me see a bigger problem; no
standardized template for all company docs- mirror
margins, styles, headings, numbering etc.

What I would like to do is have all Word docs in the
company set up the same way so people can all make their
own standard PDFs.

The docs are messy and all different.

Is there a way to go into existing messy docs and
standardize them or do you have to build a template and
paste the file in??


Thanks
