Robert Morse commented on JBSEAM-2578:
--------------------------------------

As a partial work around, I modified p:chapter and p:section to accept a chapterTitle and sectionTitle rather than other text in the document.   This allows you to have a different bookmark text that doesn't appear in the document itself.  I've tested it with Seam 2.1.2 along with iText 2.1.5 and 2.1.6.   I'll upload the diff patch to both UIChapter and UISection in a few minutes.  I've been using this by putting p:chapter right after the p:document tag and setting numberDepth = "0" and the chapterText to whatever I need.   

<p:chapter numberDepth="0" chapterTitle="This is a bookmarked chapter">
....
....
</p:chapter>
(You'll need the UIChapter patch in order for it to recognize numberDepth)

To put an arbitrary section in, I do something like:

<p:section numberDepth="0" sectionTitle="This is the bookmark section"/>

This doesn't include it in the document, but adds it to the PdfOutline as Terry mentioned.
