Well, I only play a PDFMark user on TV, but since it's Friday and no one else has jumped in... DISCLAIMER: What little I know comes not from experience, but from Thomas Merz's PDFMark Primer, which you can download from http://tinyurl.com/29ae4x (it's an excerpt from his book). In section 6.5, Merz offers this example of code to create a bookmark to a URL: [ /Count 0 /Title (Click here for home page) /Action << /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.ifconnection.de/~tm) >> /OUT pdfmark I don't see anything where Merz addresses bookmark order, only nesting and open/closed. But I may just be missing it, so have a look yourself. Where are you putting the PostScript code frame? I'm purely guessing, but I'd put it on the first body page of the doc, above the main text frame and thus ahead of any pgfs from which bookmarks are generated. I wouldn't put it on a master or reference page (other PDFMark functions, sure, but not bookmarks). Also, Merz says FM puts the frame coordinates in the PostScript stack. It's not clear whether it matters for bookmarks, but you may need to remove the coordinates by putting four pop commands (pop pop pop pop) at the beginning of your code. That's all I've got, and it's pretty speculative, but I hope it helps. Happy weekend! Richard ------ Richard G.
