Why the PDF Format ? (FDA) “In general, for documents with a table of contents, provide bookmarks and hypertext links for each item listed in the table of contents including all tables, figures, publications, other references, and appendices. These bookmarks and hypertext links are essential for the efficient navigation through documents. In general, including a bookmark to the main table of contents for a submission or item is helpful. Make the bookmark hierarchy identical to the table of contents. Avoid using bookmark levels in addition to those present in the table of contents.”
