Problem with SetOutlineNamedDestination

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade bookmarks to proper named destinations so I can link to them from a web page. I can step through the bookmarks and retrieve their IDs and names and then call to  SetOutlineNamedDestination(ID, Name) and I get the correct response 1 (= success) but when I try and read back the NamedDestinations or save the file they're lost.

Has anyone had experience with SetOutlineNamedDestination either good or bad. Am I missing a step to commit the information to the file before saving?

Regards,
Graeme

	For info, the code looks like the attached and seems to complete with the correct responses... string strStartingFilename = @"C:\_Testing\v3_0\HTML\files\C\_Catalyst_Demos\__BidExample\Executive Summary\Executive Summary.pdf"; string strFinalFilename = @"C:\_Testing\v3_0\HTML\files\C\_Catalyst_Demos\__BidExample\Executive Summary\GRs_cSharp_Edit.pdf"; string strKey = "xyz"; DebenuPDFLibraryAX0911.PDFLibrary PDFLib = new DebenuPDFLibraryAX0911.PDFLibrary(); //Unlock the library int InstanceID = PDFLib.UnlockKey(strKey); // Open the file int iLoadFile = PDFLib.LoadFromFile(strStartingFilename, ""); // Now we need some readings from the file int docCount = PDFLib.DocumentCount(); int iAnnotations = PDFLib.AnnotationCount(); int iPages = PDFLib.PageCount(); int iOutlineCount = PDFLib.OutlineCount(); string strReport = ""; string BMName = ""; int x; int iOutlineID; int iReturn; iOutlineID = PDFLib.GetOutlineID(3); BMName = PDFLib.OutlineTitle(iOutlineID); for ( x = 0; x < iOutlineCount; x++ ) { PDFLib.SelectDocument(iLoadFile); iOutlineID = PDFLib.GetOutlineID(x); BMName = PDFLib.OutlineTitle(iOutlineID); if (BMName != "" && BMName != null) { strReport = strReport + ", " + BMName; iReturn = PDFLib.SetOutlineNamedDestination(iOutlineID, BMName); if (iReturn == 1) { MessageBox.Show("Created Destination '" + BMName + "'"); strReport = strReport + ", " + BMName; } else { MessageBox.Show("Can't create Destination '" + BMName + "'"); } } } MessageBox.Show( strReport); PDFLib.SaveToFile(strFinalFilename);

	Hi robbo969, I've tested your code on my end and it appears to be working correctly with the slight issue that the for loop should be 'less than or equal to' so that it doesn't miss the last outline and it is not currently creating the new named destinations. Here's a modification that creates the new named destinations before you set the outline to look for that named destination: if (BMName != "" && BMName != null) { strReport = strReport + ", " + BMName; // Start mod: You need to create the named destination // before you assign the outline to it int iDestID = DPL.GetOutlineDest(iOutlineID); DPL.NewNamedDestination(BMName, iDestID); // Finish mod iReturn = DPL.SetOutlineNamedDestination(iOutlineID, BMName); if (iReturn == 1) { MessageBox.Show("Created Destination '" + BMName + "'"); strReport = strReport + ", " + BMName; } else { MessageBox.Show("Can't create Destination '" + BMName + "'"); } } I hope this helps. Cheers, - Rowan.
