Hi,

Is there a way to merge two files and keep the outline/bookmarks from each intact? When I call the MergeFiles function with files that have outlines, the resulting file has none.

I'm using PHP to call the library. 


       $result = $qp->MergeFiles($filetoadd,$filetobeaddedto,  $resultfilename);


Any hints/examples would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Brian

I also tried the MergeDocument function, as follows:


    // Based on example from [[[ http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077 ]]]
    $qp->LoadFromFile($filetoadd);
    $newadditionpagecount=$qp->PageCount; // Get the page count
    //$qp->Unencrypt;
    $msd = $qp->SelectedDocument;
    $qp->LoadFromFile($filetobeaddedto);
    //$qp->Unencrypt;
    $md0 = $qp->SelectedDocument;
    $qp->SelectDocument($msd);
    $qp->MergeDocument($md0);
    $qp->SaveToFile($resultfilename);
   


Still no bookmarks in $resultfilename...

Hi!

How should this go?
Perhaps in both documents (with perhaps the same pagecount) there are outlines linked to the same pagenaumbers? I think this will produce problems over problems.
You should use the get...outline-functions before merging and the set...outline-functions after merging.

Cheers, Ingo

Acrobat has a function that it adds to explorer that allows the merge of PDFs with a right-click. When PDFs are merged this way, the bookmarks in both of them come through. iirc, each file's bookmarks are underneath a parent bookmark that's the name of the file. I was hoping that merge did that as well. Is that possible?

Hi!

Please keep in mind that we're talking here about the 1 mb of QuickPDF - not about the 100 mb installation of the adobe reader ;-)

I've told you that there are functions to do it yourself manually with QuickPDF.

Cheers, Ingo
