I have MS Word 2013 and MS Print to PDF for creating PDF documents. I use heading styles for creating headings in my document and I can see them in Word's navigation pane. I'd like to have these headings in PDF navigation pane as well. How can I achieve this? Now when I print my document into PDF, I loose these headings from navigation pane in PDF doc!

There is no need for third party tools, just use the Save As dialog. Choose PDF as the 'Save as type' and click the large 'Options' button at the bottom of the dialog. In the Options dialog check 'Create bookmarks using' and ensure that 'Headings' is selected. Click OK

Word will even remember your choices and set them as the default for when you do it again.
