Hi Charles,
I have seen this over the years and can confirm what you are seeing. If you save the book as a MIF file, you can see the bookmark settings, but they are not exposed programmatically. In the past, I have used a brute force approach where I will use a script to save the .book file as MIF and then correct the settings in the MIF file then resave it as a .book file. It has been awhile, but I am pretty sure that it worked. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Each of these print-to-file books must be individually configured with its own custom bookmark settings. The problem: the print-book files always default to initial bookmark settings between print jobs, apparently to the settings that existed when the books were first created. I have been unable to find a method to make the bookmark settings "stick" from one use to the next. This, then, requires an added step in the workflow to re-do the settings every time, and creates an ongoing opportunity to misconfigure the settings, requiring do-overs. I'm using Microtype's TimeSavers, so I haven't experimented with Save As PDF. Is this known behavior ( or a possible bug)? If so, has anyone found a workaround that makes the book files keep their print settings between uses?
