I'm creating a German language PDF and need to put characters with umlauts into the bookmark names. Does anybody know how this can be done?

Look here.

http://www.asciitable.com/

This shows you the ASCII values for your character set. You can enter any character systemwide in Windows (ie, not just in Acrobat) by holding ALT and typing the three-digit code on the numeric keypad.

Eg, holding ALT and typing 137 gives me "ë". Note that you must use the number pad, regular top-row numbers won't work. There may be an easier Acrobat-specific way of doing it, but this is what I'd do cos it (should) work anywhere.

If you really want to go nuts, you can enter Unicode characters using four-digit codes too (this is what Word's "insert symbol" uses).
