Bookmarks in PDF

Hi,
I'm working on creating a PDF ddocumeent from Smartforms. I can convert the OTF to PDF using CONVERT_OTF function. But is there a way to generate bookmarks in this PDF document ? .

I've been forced to use Acrobat 6 and 7 to recreate hyperlinks within any document created on a Mac (Word, Pages, etc.). I understand that Adobe page layout apps (e.g., InDesign) will retain links when creating a PDF (using Acrobat) however. It's a real time waster to create them in your original application, export it as a PDF, then recreate the links all over again in Acrobat. Acrobat can easily find and create links for URL's (mailto: or http:), but anything that you've nicely coded in the original application that hides the URL tag won't be recognized by Acrobat and you must use the Link Tool to create new ones. Acrobat's Word plug-in on Windows automatically keeps intra-document and URL tags and bookmark. Of course, the Mac Word plug-in does not. OpenOffice for OS X does not retain such information when creating PDFs either. Hopefully retention of links, bookmarks, etc., will be a surprise gift from Apple with Tiger?!! Let's hope!

for example, conside the below text which is available in my PDF. from this i want to add few word which is available in BOLD letters.
Delta Enterprises said it would contact the customers who bought 600,000 of these cribs to send them additional parts to make the mechanism safer.
+The other 985,000 cribs under recall, made in Indonesia and Taiwan, use safety pegs in the gate mechanism that customers must install.+
+The recall is one of the largest in US history and follows another recall of 2,000 cribs, also made in China, which was issued by the CPSC on Thursday. A five-month-old infant suffocated after being trapped between the mattress and the crib side and prompted the recall Playkids USA cribs.+
hope i explained clearly.
Please help me.. im struggling lot...
Thanks in advance.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

Creating Bookmarks in PDF Output

I am going to be exporting my final InDesign document to PDF. I need to create bookmarks for the document because they are used to access topics in online help. I've attempted to do this by selecting Bookmarks in the export settings, with no results. I am not sure how to get headings in my InDesign document to appear in PDF output as bookmarks. Is there such a thing as a heading style in InDesign, as in FrameMaker and Word? Does anyone have experience doing this? I really need to know how to do it. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Tony

The TOC uses only the headers that appear at the top of each page. How doI get the headings and subheadings throughout the document to appear as bookmarks in PDF?
A TOC will include whatever you tell it to include.
Right. Any paragraph-styled text can be extracted to TOC/bookmarks.
The functionality you want is there, but your statements demonstrate that you've assumed limitations that aren't. They also demonstrate that you're not clueless. Look just a bit deeper.

To access bookmarks in pdf doc using acrobat sdk with C#

Hi, I am converting a word doc to PDF. While doing this the headlines in word doc are getting converted to bookmarks in PDF & I get a bookmark tree. I want the bookmarks to be collapsed. I am using acrobat dll to convert word doc to pdf. Want to use the same to collapse the bookmarks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Irosenth,
If we have Acrobat installed on our m/c in Micorsoft office word I get an "Acrobat" tab. In that I get an option to create "PDF" from word.
So keeping this in mind I created a project in C# using VS 2008. In this project I took the reference of "Acrobat.dll" the com library.
Using the reference of this library I converted the word/excel/ppt docs to PDF.
Below is the code snippet :
public
void startConversion(string docFile, string pdfFile){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDocClass _acroDoc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDocClass();Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc _pdDoc = null;
string strNonPDFFile = docFile;
string strPDFFile = pdfFile;
_acroDoc.Open(strNonPDFFile, strPDFFile);
_pdDoc = (Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc)(_acroDoc.GetPDDoc());
_pdDoc.Save(
Convert.ToInt16(Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull), strPDFFile);
_pdDoc.Close();
_pdDoc =
null;_acroDoc.Close(1);
_acroDoc =
null;}
This does convert Word/exce/ppt to pdf successfully. But I wanted to get access to the bookmarks of the PDF file....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lalit

Generate Dynamic Hyperlinks/Bookmarks in PDF Output.

Hi,
I'm trying to develop an RTF template which will generate the output with Bookmarks in PDF format. As per the Enterprise User Guide, <?copy-to-bookmark:?> or <?convert-to-bookmark:?> should be able to generate a static or dynamic bookmark, respectively. But, all my attempts in doing so go in vain.
Again, I have a summary page in front, and detail pages suffixed; hence, I am trying to create a link on the summary page field, to the respective detail page. But, I am not sure of the steps.
Example:
Page1:
Deptno. Dname Number of Employees
10 Production 15
20 Research 8
etc...
Page2 Onwards
Deptno. 10
Dname. Production
EMPNO ENAME SAL
7782
Kindly advise if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks,
L. Mukunthan.

How do I bookmark a pdf? How sort bookmarks in Firefox?

Since my browser is Firefox, not Safari, this may not be a question easily answered. But I need to bookmark a pdf file, and though the pulldown with correct info showed as usual, it did not appear on my Bookmarks list.
Also, many times I have followed the Firefox instructions for sorting bookmarks alphabetically, but I simply can't get that to work. Any suggestions?

This is a Pages forum and nothing to do with either Firefox or Safari, you will have to find an appropriate user group or Forum to answer your question.

C-Plus set bookmark for PDF to FO_PgfFmt when FO_PgfFmt is defined in master page

Using the following across all documents in a book
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "100_TOC_Header01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 1);
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "010_01_00_Heading01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 2);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_DocAcrobatElements, False);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmark, True);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmarksOpenLevel, FV_PDFBookmarksOpenAllLevels);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone);
F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Name), False);
to set bookmarks for PDF when doing a save as PDF on the book.
This works for all FO_PgfFmt's defined in the document except when the FO_PgfFmt is defined in a master page.
Is there some setting that is needed to get bookmarks from master page FO_PgfFmt's?
Or is there some setting that needs to be done on the master page to get the bookmark set?
Any advice or directions would be helpful.
Using FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows 7.

Whoever created the Master Page didn't know what they were doing from a workflow perspective. There should never be live content on a Master page.
The title is placed in a background frame on what is probably defined as the "First" master page and is only used once in your document. It would have been better if this was a variable (it might be, have you checked?) and then you could get at the content easily.
Option 1: In order to use FM's internal bookmark generation tools, you will need to get that content onto the Body page and into the same flow (and at the correct location) in order to have it appear at the correct location in the Bookmarks panel of the PDF.
From a programming point of view you will probably need to do the following.
1. Get the text string from the background frame on the specific Maser Page in the document
2. Create a custom colour that will be applied to the Text in order to render it "invisible" on the Body page using FM's Color Views option (set the colour to the Invisible column in the View number for the document). (FM will still know that it is there but will not display nor output that string). You could also have this pre-defined in a template and import the template into all files in the book (including the desired paratag for that paragraph on the Master page).
3. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
4. Insert a text frame into that anchored frame
5. Insert the text string from the background text frame
6. Apply the appropriate paratag that uses the Invisible colour for the text
7. You can now add the paratag to the bookmark list and generate the PDF.
Option 2: Create the bookmark code directly using pdfmark commands in a postscript text frame on the Body page. Postscript text frame contents are interpreted by Distiller from the output and do not display.
1. Get the text string from the background frame in the document
2. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
3. Insert a postscript text frame into that anchored frame
4. Insert the bookmark pdfmark code including the text from step 1.
Sample pdfmark code:
[/Title (the string from the background text frame here) [options for font, colour and hierarchy] /OUT pdfmark
The minimum info required is in bold.

Bookmarking a pdf file by reading excel file

Hi is it possible to bookmark a pdf by reading the excel in which details of bookmark like page numbers, bookmark level and bookmark name are available?
I want the code to be in Visual Basic 6.
Thanx

Yes. Look at the Acrobat JavaScript documentation. You can use the VB - JavaScript bridge.

Acrobat 9.3.4 no longer finds bookmarked non-PDF files (and then launches assoc app)

I produce a documentation DVD consisting of a one-page PDF file of ~ 1400 bookmarks and a lot of content. The bookmarks point to the content on the DVD which includes pdf files as well as text, DOC, XLS, and other misc. file types, and a large number of html, swf, flv, .jpg, etc. files which make up 4 complete web sites. The web sites are entirely contained on the DVD (no extermal internet access is referenced or required)
Content is accessed by clicking a bookmark which simply opens the file (regardless of type.) Prior to Acrobat 9.3.4, appropriate warnings popped up for non-PDF files but if allowed by the user, the appropriate app was launched for the requested file.
Since applying 9.3.4, a "Launch File" warning box pops up showing the file name (which lacks a device) and when the warning's "Open" button is pressed, a Windows error appears with the message "Windows cannot find 'file.txt'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file.... ", and finally an Adobe Acrobat information box pops up and says "Could not open the file 'path/file.txt' ".
I have read and re-read about launching external apps, restricted urls and attachments, trust manager preferences, etc. etc. I've added the files to the privileged locations list under the enhanced security settings and on and on. It no longer works, yet I tested this DVD on several computers just last week and it worked fine. So, as a shot in the dark, I decided to fire up my laptop and test it there again.
Once on, the laptop immediately wanted to update about 12,000 software products but I politely said "No, wait until i test this out!" The test was successful and the DVD's pdf file worked great again! At that point I let the machine apply the Acrobat 9.3.4 update (and some uncountable number of Windows patches and fixes.) It's running a current version of Win7. After the reboot, i tried the DVD again (under Acrobat 9.3.4) and it failed as described above. Because of Win7 I was able to revert to acrobat 9.3.2 using System Restore. After doing that, the DVD worked again.
Most of our user's machines are either Macs or WinXP (current versions) and i haven't had time to figure out if you can even recover from this update under those OS's. (It says you cannot remove it from XP, however.) Regardless, even if i can do it for my laptop and get it working again, i cannot do it for all of our users.
So, my question is if i am not doing something wrong, how do i let someone at Adobe know this release is broken?? If i am doing something wrong on the other hand, what is it and how do i get this to work again??
Thanks all.

Thanks. I did submit a report at the site. I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
Thanks again.

Duplicate bookmarks in PDF created from Framemaker 8

Hello,
I'm working on some legacy content using Framemaker 8 p266. Every time I create a PDF, I get duplicate bookmarks. The first set is wrong, and the second set is formatted correctly and contains the right content.
For example, it basically looks like the PDF is grabbing all of the content from the Table of Contents page, and then listing the correct bookmarks (Section title, heading 1) after that.
I'm creating my PDF using the Save As PDF option. In the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, I do have the Generate PDF Booksmarks option enabled, "Bookmarks Expanded Through Level" is set to None, and in the Include Paragraphs field I have Appendix Title, Head 1, and Section Title.
I'm using Adobe Distiller XI, maybe that's my problem.
Any ideas? I would appreciate it.
Susan

Are these duplicates side-by-side (e.g. A and then A again) or one after another (A, B, C... and then A, B, C...)?
If they're one set after another, FM picks up the list of paratags to include in the bookmarks list from the first file in the book, so if this doesn' contain everything, it might help to import the additional formats into that one. Then clear/remove the exisiting bookmarks and only add back the Titles and Heading1 bookmarks (check that the TOC ones remain in the Don't include list).

HTML link to bookmark in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf.
So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem?
Really appreciate any help.

Try %20 instead of spaces. HTML links are URL-encoded, and this is the usual translation of a single space, as for example can be seen in links in Google.
If it works, you can automatically convert the bookmark name to URL format with the function encodeURI ("Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape").

Problem with creating bookmarks (word- pdf)

Index entries between section number and heading in my word document prevent the creation of the section number in the PDF bookmarks.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.5) and Microsoft Word 2007.
Does anyone know the problem, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Manuel

What version of WORD and Acrobat? I just ran PDF Maker with WORD 2007 and AA8 and turned off the headings 3 that were in the document and they did not show up in the bookmarks.

Convert MS Word bookmarks to pdf

Let me say that I'm no expert here but have been working with Acrobat Standard X for 5 years before a laptop crash.
Purchased and installed Acrobat Standard X recently and noticed 2 problems I didnt have on my old version.
#1 Noticed that there is no adobe buttons in any of my microsoft office (excel, word ...).
#2 I use standard X to write manuals. Using word to create the doc, I use bookmarks in word and then convert to pdf. but the bookmarks are not converting over to pdf. I have insured that preferences/convert to pdf/Word "add bookmarks to Adobe pdf" is checked. Still no bookmarks are converted.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Hope you have not called Tech-Support before you read this:
First thing First:
Acrobat X is fully compatible with Office 2003. It includes MS Office (Word/Excel/PPT), Word_Import Comments, MS Outlook, Mail Merge, Attach As PDF, Attach As Secured PDF, MS Visio/Project, MS Access, MS Publisher.
Check the below mentioned link of Adobe Knowledgebase for the complete list of supported application:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
So you dont have to downgrade anything. You are all set to go. All you need to perform the steps mentioned in the Knowledgebase article to get the Acrobat Tab in MS Word/Excel etc to convert the word files along with the bookmarks.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329044.html?rec=true
You can also watch the video available on it. Its real simple to do this. Should you have any issue while doing this, please reply.
