Postgresql .pdf docs for 7.4.2

From

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The .pdf documentation for PostgreSQL is generally
very good and user friendly.  I, however, noticed that
the .pdf docs for version 7.4.2 have not only been
merged into one big document but the Bookmarks (the
side bar in Adobe Acrobat where a specific topic could
be easily found and accessed) are also missing.

It will be really helpful if the Bookmarks (the side
bar in Adobe Acrobat where a specific topic could be
easily found and accessed) section in .pdf document
for version 7.4.2 is restored.

Regards,

The act of combining the various manuals into one book has overloaded the
toolchain used to produce the 7.3 and earlier documents.  The tools used
to produce the 7.4 documentation do not have support for bookmarks.  While
regrettable the blame really lies with the openjade developers and there's
not much we can do about that.

Damn.   What about doing one PDF per chapter?

Or is there something we could do with OpenOffice ... checking ... no.  No
bookmarks either, darn it.

PGAdminIII runs on Linux and BSD too.  It's C++.
