And boy is that plug-in neat!  Recently I converted a lengthy document in 
which I had use "Header" styles (mainly to keep my own sanity as I edited 
the file), but little did I expect that the headers would automatically be 
converted to a heirarchical set of bookmarks in the PDF file.  A very nice 
bonus!  I get the impression that one must use the distiller plug-in in 
order to get this benefit.
