@MikeTO Thank you for the information. I was hoping to avoid using an external pdf editing tool just for this singular use case.

** after reading @MikeTO's manual a second time I realized the 2nd issue was my error. I was copying and pasting the targets without ensuring the bkmk symbol; was checked **🫢 Regarding bookmarks: I have a 36"*24" 19-page Municipal Permit architectural document. I did the drawings in Designer, but because of the bookmark requirements decided on completing with publisher. I have two issues that I would appreciate some advice. 1st, the municipality requires 1 bookmark per page & that the bookmarks open to a full-page view - not a zoomed in view of a section | paragraph. 2nd, upon (a lengthy, multi-freeze, & rarely successful on the first attempt) export I seem to randomly lose the latter half of my 19 bookmarks, causing me to use a 3rd party pdf tool (PDFSam or UPDF) to manually re-add them, which introduces other headscratchers. For the 1st issue: I placed a transparent margin sized rectangle with no fill, just above my Master Page Layer. I had hoped that would produce a full-page view. Unfortunately, it appears that whatever my default pdf view scale was in the viewer - is the zoom level rendered on this document. This holds true in msft edge, chrome, & PDFSam. Because I do not know what software the municipality is using, I do not know how to set the default view for the bookmark to full-page. 2nd issue: is there a setting I'm missing or do i need to make a TOC even though the municipality will not use it over bookmarks? As this is for a client I am not able to post file here. But will upload to staff if helpful. Thank you - if I am posting in the wrong area, please let me know. APub latest build 2.42, file<506KB.

I have had success placing a hyperlink (to return to home page) in a master sheet - then every page has the return home link.

Thank you for your time and energy! very appreciated.

Thank you for your share!

Using the [file] > [export] option from the vector persona. I selected 12 artboards seeking to publish a 12-page pdf. My file has never been exported. Even left it overnight.

I have been struggling exporting from beta designer. Most recently I tried to use the export persona to export multiple artboards as pdf pages. I ended up receiving some PDFs & some PNGs. I had the batch set to none. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I made an error in the export settings. On the left side are my export settings are on the right is the export output - 5 of the artboards were exported as PNGs though I chose PDF (flattened) for all.

I am not sure I put this in the AFDesignerBETA channel
