InDesign certainly is pricey, especially if all you use it for is
occasional documentation and help files.
As far as the bookmarks are concerned, InDesign allows you to auto-
generate a table of contents based on Paragraph Styles (i.e., any
text set in any of the selected Paragraph Styles will be included in
the TOC).
When you generate the TOC, you have the option to automatically make
each TOC entry a bookmark which can then be exported in the PDF. Of
course, it also allows you to create bookmarks (and hyperlinks)
manually.

An excellent solution that I use is to create the documentation in
Adobe InDesign. You can export to .pdf files complete with bookmarks,
web links, tables of contents, an index, and more. And you can create
your documentation on a Mac (as I do) or on a PC.
InDesign is a bit pricey at $700 retail. Also it is bent more
towards page layout and comes with a lot extra bells and whistles
the average developer wanting to create documentation would never
use.
Does it create create the bookmarks "automatically" off a table of
contents?
