Re: What the Distiller warning really means

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul Schulte's interpretation below may explain why Distiller produces the
warning, but 99% of the time, that's not what causes the warning to be
produced. Suppose I have a heading, and I don't have any newlink marker
inserted in it. But, suppose I insert cross-references to that heading,
generate a TOC and an index that have GotoObject links to the heading, and
also turn on Generate Acrobat data in the Frame Print dialog box so as to
produce bookmarks for the headings in Acrobat. A newlink marker is not
involved, yet the warning is produced.
