Does it create create the bookmarks "automatically" off a table of
contents?


As has already been answered, it automates the bookmark creation handily. Same for indexes and hyperlinks. It also offers extremely good control over image compression, font inclusion, etc., so you can balance the look of the documentation vs. its size.

As for the price, it is indeed steep if you never use it for anything else. I'm also a designer, so it's one of the tools I use regularly. And you can find InDesign at much lower prices, especially if you qualify for educational discounts.
