You can't possibly expect FrameMaker-to-Acrobat bookmark generator to know
that the color green is turned off so as to conceal the autonumbers in the
text body. You're approaching the problem all wrong. Why don't you create a
surrogate template in which all paragraph formats are identical to the
"master" template except for the tag that has the autonumber. In the
surrogate template, turn the autonumbering off for that paragraph tag. Now,
import formats from the surrogate template into your document files with
only paragraph formats checked, and remove format overrides turned on. Then
export to PDF.
