Hi Baruch,
This seems like an excellent possibility--I'll give it a try!
Much appreciated,
Karen
Karen,
I think the best work flow is to work exclusively with the source
Frame documents and never resort (as a standard workflow process) to
editing the final PDF.
1. You want to do is have the Professors heading *look* like a
Heading 1 for text purposes, but you don't want it to generate a
"Professors" bookmark.
i. Create a new format based on H1 (or whatever it is) and do not
use it to generate a bookmark.
2. Now the Professors bookmark goes away, and you need to generate a
Faculty bookmark in its stead.
i. Create and anchored frame in the "Professors" heading. I like
to position these frames Outside the Column so that they don't
interfere visually with the text on the page.
ii. Inside the anchored draw a textbox, and type "Professors"
iii.. Create a new paragraph format for Professors, and use it as
the same level as the Faculty bookmark formally was in your PDF
Setup.
3. Now "Faculty" will not appear as a bookmark and Professors will.
This is great, except now you have a textbox hanging off the Faculty
heading that says Professors. That doesn't look good. Here's what
you do for that: make it invisible.
i. Define a color called INVISIBLE, and then use Color Views to
actually make it invisible. (Check Frame's Help if this throws you.)
ii. Redefine the Professors paragraph format so that the font
color is INVISIBLE, and voila, Professors is gone from the page.
(Some people use White instead of an invisible color. That will work
only if your documents are always printed on white paper. If the
paper is off-white or colored, you'll run into problems.)
iii. If you find you need to edit the text in the anchored frame,
redefine the color to Red or something else, and then change back to
Invisible when you're done.
Lastly, I'd urge you to get Shlomo Perets' TimeSavers utility. It's
very powerful and is worth its weight, as the saying goes.
Best,
Baruch Brodersen

Frame Gurus:
My Framemaker document contains dozens of academic subject area
sections that each contain similar headings. Those headings
translate to bookmarks when the document is converted to PDF. One
such heading is for a faculty roster. The head identified for
bookmarking reads "Professors" but the bookmark itself must read
"Faculty." Since there are about 140 of these, I'd like to be able
to edit the bookmarks in a batch. Is there a way to do this in
Acrobat 9?
Conditional text in the Frame file--to substitute "Faculty" for the
current head--does not seem to be the answer here, because showing
it would create a redundancy for the reader as well as alter
pagination and text flow.
Any options?
Thank you,
Karen Robbins
