If not handled automatically by the authoring application or the conversion 
to PDF:
expanding a specific branch and then using Save/Save As as will register 
that branch as being expanded, so it will become the default state upon 
opening the PDF.


Notes:

* Ctrl-clicking the [-] icon to the left of a bookmark will collapse all 
subordinate bookmarks (and likewise, Ctrl-cliking the [+] icon will expand 
all subordinate bookmarks).

* If you have to resort to collapsing bookmarks manually in Acrobat and 
need to do this repeatedly, there is a free plug-in that will collapse 
top-level bookmarks in one action:

* Even if a PDF file has security settings which do not allow any 
modifications, you can still "Save As", which does modify the bookmark 
setup as described above.
