Got fed up with context/xetex... Compiled with texmfstart texexec --lua instead and as expected (from a previous thread) bookmarks are scrambled when using accented (french) characters. Hope this (luatex) issue will be resolved very soon. Thanks for the backward compatibility though. Didn't have to change a single line of code. Hyperlink/bookmark jumps are a better, however... Can they be made so that they go to and include the corresponding chapter/section title, instead of jumping underneath them when in "single page continuous + page width" mode ? It works that way with word/openoffice generated pdfs. Thanks on beforehand, Alan
