Hi Cynthia, There is no specific markup in DocBook for PDF bookmarks, because they are a formatting artifact of the structure elements of the document. The DocBook stylesheet adds a bookmark for each structural element contained in the document.
Since bookmarks are a formatting feature, they are subject to customization of the stylesheets. Because bookmarks were not initially part of the XSL-FO 1.0 specification, each XSL-FO processor created their own extension to handle them. The extensions for FOP 0.95 are in fo/fop1.xsl. You can see in those templates how the bookmarks are created by processing the document in mode="fop1.outline", which generates a fo:bookmark element for each structural element. You could customize the templates to add your additional links. But I'm curious about these links. For example, when someone clicks on Search (all docs), what is supposed to happen? They look like they might be external links, perhaps to a website? In that case, you would need to use <fo:bookmark external-destination="url(http://blah)"> (instead of internal-destination).

What is not straightforward is how to mark up custom PDF bookmarks in Docbook 5, that is, in addition to the ones that are automatically generated. For example, what we would like to have in the bookmark field: Menu Search (all docs) Find (single doc) Doc1 Doc2 Doc3 Etc. News & Changes I’ve tried searching for this information, but have not found anything other than other people asking similar questions but not getting a useful answer.
