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.
