Is there any way to create bookmarks based on document content?

For example, if you know that an item of user interest - such as an order number, a customer name, or a product code - appears on the same line as a label such as �Customer name:�, �Order No:� or �Product Id�, then by using these labels as a key string you can generate bookmarks based on the actual customer name, order number or product code.

Yes it does create bookmarks. If you extract text you get a csv of words positions and colours. If you load this into a db you can manipulate all the positions etc.

What I have done is have a table of font sizes which indicates the level at which the text is at.. so join the tables together and loop through the records creating bookmarks. If caselevel (which is dictated by font size) = 1 then parent = 0.

Its a while since you posted but as nobody replied its possible that you never got it sorted. So you knwo once you have got the tables it becomes easy to create links to.. e.g if you have a contents page...
