Hi,

In the latest release of UDM/GME, the generated PDF manuals don't contain
bookmarks. This makes it very difficult to use the PDF files. The previous
versions had bookmarks in them. I guess this is due to ISIS folks switching
to Adobe Acrobat 6.0. If so, then the following information from the Readme
might be useful in turning this feature back again in the generated PDF
manuals:

  Type field -Press the Settings button -On the dialog that appears, turn
  on the "Enable accessibility & reflow (Microsoft Office 2000/XP only)"
  and "Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file" checkboxes.

- Press the OK button to confirm settings.
