Question

Wrong bookmarks when saving PDF through a script

Hello,

 

I am in the process of creating a script to automatize exporting applications with variants (contitional text + variables) to pdf.

 

I have tried to use 2 different methods but they both lead to wrong bookmarks, as shown below, screenshot from Acrobat Reader:

<GRAPHIC> shouldn't appear here, but somehow it does.

 

I have tried changing the book and documents settings using menu "format > document > pdf setup" but nothing seems to have an effet.

 

Those are the methods:

  • Method 1:

 

 

params = GetSaveDefaultParams ();
returnParams = new PropVals ();
    
params[GetPropIndex (params, Constants.FS_FileType)].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtPdf;
params[GetPropIndex (params, Constants.FS_PDFUseDistiller)].propVal.ival = 1;

FA_errno = 0;
book.BookIsSelected = 1;
book.Save(projectBasePath + pdfNamePrefix + tag + startDate + pdfNameSuffix, params, returnParams);

 

 

 

  • Method 2:

 

 

CallClient("FMPublisher", "SetOutputLocation " + projectBasePath + pdfNamePrefix + tag + startDate + pdfNameSuffix);
CallClient("FMPublisher", "MCPPublish PDF");

 

 

 

Both methods lead to the result above.

 

However when I manually export the pdf by selecting the book and use manu "file > save as pdf...", the bookmark show as expected:

Those are the "format > documents > pdf setup" settings that work fine when doing the export to pdf manually:

 

Where can I configure the bookmarks for it being taken into account when exporting with a script ?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards

 

Eric

    Try turning this document property off for each document in the book:

     

    // Assuming doc is your Doc object.
doc.DocAcrobatElements = 0;

     

    For each paragraph format in the document, you set its AcrobatLevel property to the desired level. Use 0 (zero) for paragraph formats that you don't want to include. So yours would be:

     

    // Assuming pgfFmt is your paragraph format object.
// Don't include as a bookmark:
pgfFmt.AcrobatLevel = 0;
// Heading1
pgfFmt.AcrobatLevel = 1;
// Heading2
pgfFmt.AcrobatLevel = 2;
// Heading3
pgfFmt.AcrobatLevel = 3;
