I know bookmarks mean something different with pdf then with Word but what I want to do is the following. I want to create a new pdf document. This document contains some basic items (like our logo and a number) I also want to add some "bookmarks" like in Word to some locations in the pdf. after this I want to save the pdf. The next time I want to open the pdf and fill in the bookmarks. Is this posible with quickpdf and if so how can I do this
Thanks in advance christian |

Yes it is possible. The bookmarks in this type of PDF would actually point to specific pages. If you know the specific pages which you want to bookmark, then you could do a loop excuting the following code: iSEDSelectPage (page) iSEDNewOutline (0, "Bookmark Text", page, iSEDPageHeight()) This worked for my company. The only issue is if you are adding LARGE number of bookmarks, QuickPDF will fail with memory issues. You need to add the bookmarks in chucks whereby you save, close & then reload the file between each chunk. Wheely

Thanks for you info What do you mean with "large" I checked the NewOutline function in the manual but it seems that there's only a positioning in vertical diriction. How can I select the horisontal postion of the "Bookmark" Maybe I can us a some kind of table |

Well, my company was adding over 1000 bookmarks in one case. To get it to work, they had to break up the bookmark adding to 500 bookmarks at a time. That way we avoided any memory issues.
I am not sure about the horizontal positioning but you may want to play around with the last parameter for NewOutline. Look in the help about destinations. You may find an answer there. Wheeley |

Ok thanks so large isn't a problem in our case.
I checed the help for the destinations parameter but not much there (ISEDQuickPdf reference V5.11) So if some of you have some more info about the destination Christian |

Ok I found a way tho overcome the limits of the Newoutline function.
In the NewOutline function the X position is always set to zero. I made a new NewOutline function "NewOutlineXY" wich is capable of handeling the X and Y pos. I also wrote a function to retreive the values semilar to the getOutlineDest function "GetOutlineDestXY" You need to have the sourcecode for this so if there is some intressed from any of you maby we can ask to put these functions (they have to be cleaned up) for Version 5.15. If nobody is interessted fine by me then I just add the functions my self to the new versions |

Even if nobody needs these functions right now you should include them in the new version. One day they will be used...
