I need to create a bookmarked PDF with two bookmark nodes so I can navigate the document mentbased on different criteria.
Consider this blankcrf.pdf
My only suggestion would be proc document. Have fiddled around with it in the past: https://communities.sas.com/thread/42000
But is a bit basic, have gone back to manually creating the PDFs by hand.

I don't know what kind of PROC you are using for PDF.
ods pdf file='c:\temp\x.pdf' ;
ods proclabel='ADMaS';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd contents=' ';run;
ods proclabel='STDM';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd contents=' ';run;
ods pdf close;

That does produce two root notes but they point to different places. I want them to point to the same place.
HI:
You might be able to do that with PROC DOCUMENT and using LINKs, but the only way that I know that bookmarks work is to make a new link that points to a new output object. I am not clear on how to point 2 different nodes to the same output object. That would be a question for Tech Support.

Hi,
Have been thinking about this for a day or two and I am wondering what you are trying to achieve with the PDF bookmarks thing. It looks a bit like a CDISC define file with the bookmark for SDTM. If that's the case I am not sure why you don't just create an XML based define. TBH I am not a fan of adobe products at all (actually second only to apple), e.g. proprietary, closed source, expensive, full of security flaws. So maybe check out the guidance at: http://www.cdisc.org/define-xml
There are of course other methods of getting the information into a PDF, Javascripting in Acrobat, maybe creating a Word file first (or RTF?) with all the links, TOC etc. then porting it over. But at the end of the day is PDF the right format? I know the recent release has changed to a portfolio style format so you can include other files, has caused nothing but trouble.
