I have an InDesign book with a TOC document and 7 content (chapter) documents. When I export the book to pdf, the “print” TOC is correct, but the pdf bookmarks have the chapters in reverse order. The bookmarks do go to the correct pages. (Lower H level bookmarks are in the correct order within each document.)
My TOC style setup creates PDF bookmarks and makes text anchors in source paragraphs.
I’ve tried a few different pdf settings, including interactive.
I removed all but one document from the book and started adding them back one at a time, updating my TOC after each save. Doing that, the pdf bookmarks came in with the correct chapter order, until I added chapter 7 back in, and then all of the chapters reversed again.
I opened chapter 7 and removed all (I think) of the existing anchors on the headings before re-adding it and regenerating the TOC, but the order reversed again.
How does InDesign (or Acrobat) decide on the bookmark order?
Any ideas? Thanks.
