But I have absolutely no idea of how to add bookmarks to the PDF in an automated way, given that the original files are processed through Microsoft Word. (Adding them by hand surely won't be practical.) The existing table-of-contents information doesn't seem to make bookmarks when the document is printed to Distiller. I've tried some of the other conversion plugins, but they don't seem to be able to use the proper fonts (which makes the Unicode examples unreadable). We don't have the budget to spend time figuring this out (we have no requirement to make PDFs for anyone). In any case, we produced the PDF versions solely for the purpose of printing the standard. If you want a version with links, use the HTML version (which also gives you access to a decent search facility and a fully linked syntax). If you really, really wanted to upgrade the PDFs, I'd suggest downloading the Standard's construction tools and doing this yourself. I'd be happy to give you some pointers if you wanted to do that (and the handful of hand-corrections that are needed to make the document printable). Randy Brukardt, ARG editor; Editor, ISO/IEC 8652
