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
