I'm using MiKTeX and using pdfLaTeX. I can generate the PDF, but there are no bookmarks. In the .tex-file it is using:

\chapter
\section
\subsection

(with labels)

I originally used make with sphinx to output LaTeX. It must work somewhat or I wouldn't get the PDF. When I say bookmarks, I mean when you are in Acrobat and the left side has the Bookmarks panel.

I am reading How to create PDF file with all your bookmarks displayed?

But I am not sure where to apply this.

EDIT: I applied this, \usepackage{bookmark}, and got bookmarks, but I never get the subsection bookmarks.

By default, bookmarks replicate the table of contents. So if your ToC shows content up to \section, so will the bookmarks. The default level up to which content is shown in the ToC is 2 - equivalent to \subsection (in book and report). So, the following minimal example

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{bookmark}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents                % Level 0 (chapter)

\chapter{A chapter}             % Level 0
\section{A section}             % Level 1
\subsection{A subsection}       % Level 2
\subsubsection{A subsubsection} % Level 3
\paragraph{A paragraph}         % Level 4
\subparagraph{A subparagraph}   % Level 5

\end{document}

shows the bookmarks up to level 2:

ToC/bookmarks up to level 2

If yours doesn't show up to this level, then you must be using a different class, or perhaps a package that sets a different level of inclusion. This can be changed though...

By adding

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}% Show ToC content up to level 3 (\subsubsection)

to your preamble to ToC/bookmarks resemble

ToC/bookmarks up to level 3

The above works the same with hyperref as it does with bookmark.

You can have different depths of visibility in the ToC and bookmarks. This is provided by the bookmarks option depth.

enter image description here

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[depth=4]{bookmark}% Show up to level 4 (\paragraph) in bookmarks

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}% Show up to level 3 (\subsubsection) in ToC

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents                % Level 0 (chapter)

\chapter{A chapter}             % Level 0
\section{A section}             % Level 1
\subsection{A subsection}       % Level 2
\subsubsection{A subsubsection} % Level 3
\paragraph{A paragraph}         % Level 4
\subparagraph{A subparagraph}   % Level 5

\end{document}
