beamer, hyperref, and PDF bookmarks: bookmarksopenlevel not respected with beamer + xelatex

[John Bullock]

I find that Beamer v3.10 respects hyperref's "bookmarksopenlevel"
option when I process documents with pdflatex, but not when I process
them with xelatex. For example, bookmarks are not expanded for the
following document when I process it with xelatex:

\documentclass[xelatex]{beamer}
\hypersetup{bookmarksopen=true,bookmarksopenlevel=3} % adding
"dvipdfmx-outline-open" makes no difference
\begin{document}
\section{First Section}
\begin{frame}Lorem ipsum\end{frame}
\subsection{First Subsection}
\begin{frame}dolor\end{frame}
\end{document}

When I process a similar document with pdflatex (adding nothing and
removing only the "xelatex" option to beamer), the bookmarks in the
resulting PDF are open, as I expect.

Is there anything that I can do to have subsection-level bookmarks
open by default when I use beamer and xelatex together?

Thank you,
John

Which version of hyperref you are using?
I can't reproduce it with 6.81q.
Remember you need two runs to get the bookmarks.

With package `bookmark' only one run is sufficient (without atend
feature). However due to a bug option dvipdfmx-outline-open
should be given as option to package `bookmark'.
It is fixed in the next version, but the release of my bundle
isn't finished yet.

Thank you, Heiko. I'm using 6.81q. The bookmarks are in the PDF
file, but I can't get the top-level bookmark "expanded" (so that the
lower-level bookmarks appear when I open the PDF file) even with three
runs.

I tried using the bookmark package (v1.12). Specifically, I inserted

\usepackage[dvipdfmx-outline-open]{bookmark}

into my preamble. The PDF file contained the subsection bookmark but,
curiously, not the top-level "First Section" bookmark. And the log
file contained this error message:

LaTeX Font Warning: Size substitutions with differe

up to 1.0pt have occurred.

I'm not sure of what to make of this. Is there another option that I
should be passing to hyperref or to the bookmark package?

Thanks again,
John

As I have written you need a more uptodate package (v1.15).
However it is not yet released. Temporarily you can get it from
http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~oberdiek/tmp/bookmark.pdf
See section "Installation" for more details.
