Merging a PDF with bookmark as a child of a bookmark node

I have already developed a plugin that merges several PDF's and generates bookmarks
But there is one issue
If a PDF already has bookmarks, I dont see the bookmarks inserted after that pdf file, instead they appear as a sibling of the root.
I have tried using
PDDocInsertPages(pdDoc1,PDLastPage ,pdDoc2, 0, PDAllPages ,PDInsertBookmarks, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);.
This is probably causing the bookmarks to show up as siblings of the root
as well as
PDDocInsertPages(pdDoc1,PDLastPage ,pdDoc2, 0, PDAllPages ,PDInsertAll, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
Any suggestions as to how to add a PDF file with bookmarks as a child of an existing bookmark , so that all the bookmarks of this PDF file will be children of the node under which this file is added
Also i need to know, if by doing this will it preserve the bookmark actions of the PDF file will be preserved
Thanks

> Also i need to know, if by doing this will it preserve the bookmark actions of the PDF file will be preserved
If the bookmark action is to go to a specific page, no it will not be preserved as the page numbers will be different once the documents are merged (except for the first document in the merge).
If the bookmarks used named destinations then yes, they will be preserved (assuming you don't have the same named destination in more than 1 file being merged).

Merging GoogleDocs PDF with company stationary PDF

As we are now working "in the Cloud" with Adobe and Google we are trying to figure out a solution to get our documents from Google Docs to a PDF with our company stationary look included. As Google Docs doesn't offer a solution we simply save the document to a PDF and merge it in Adobe Acrobat X with our company stationary artwork. Unfortunately it doesn't work, probably because Google Docs creates PDF with a transparant layer. Does Adobe provide printer plugins voor Google Cloud Printing through which we would be able to print PDF files with a transparant layer.

Hi Mike,
You can use Acrobat to create/ edit the layers in the pdf.

Merging a PDF with a Form

I have a form that was created in Adobe Live Design that I would like to add the the end of an existing PDF. I would like to think that you can add a fillable form to a regular PDF, but it doesn't seem to be allowing me to do so becuase it's in an XML format. Is there a way around this?

You will likely have to do the combination in Designer or possibly use portfolios. You can not edit Designer forms in Acrobat. The alternative would have been to create the form in Acrobat and not Designer.

Creating a PDF with Bookmarks using Excel

Hello All,
I've been attempting to find an means of producing a PDF document from an Excel workbook with the resulting PDF displaying a bookmark tree which included parent/child relationships. I am running Excel 2010 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
At present, I am saving the workbook as a PDF document and then opening the PDF in Adobe in order to create the bookmarks. The bookmarks are created using the "New Bookmarks From Structure" option in Adobe and then choosing "Worksheet" as the structure element. The bookmarks are displayed in a tree but there are no parent/child relationships within the tree. Each member of the tree simply listed as the worksheet names were.
My goal is to display each rollup entity and its various children. The parent and the child entities are all individual worksheets within the source workbook. I have not been able to figure out how to structure my Excel source to make this happen in Adobe. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks in advance for your help!
Jared

I've been looking for the same answer.
After I've enabled Acrobat on my Excel, and click preferences, then the whole programs crashes.
I found a couple of updates here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611 which I am going to try out now... ifilter

Cannot Export PDF with Hyperlinks and Bookmarks

August 1, 2008
Hi Everyone,
I've recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. I opened a 40 page document that was completed in InDesign CS2. When I try to export to a PDF (with include hyperlinks and bookmarks) the program quits once it reaches the 5th page.
I've tried exporting without hyperlinkes and bookmarks checked and PDFing works fine. I had no previous PDFing issues when working in CS2.
Any suggestions/tips/guesses would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi! I need help w indesigns hyperlink...
I am working on a long document and have 5 files, I was able to use hyperlink on each one that way the reader could jump fr one file (or page) to another. The hyperlink worked perfectly on PDF. Now I need to merge these five PDF's into 1 PDF file but the hyperlink that I have created on individual files doesnt work in a combined PDF. Is there a run-around on this? Any suggestions? I'm just new in indesign and need inputs. Thanks!
Im using Windows XP and CS3.

How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night. It's three step process:
     Step 1) A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
     Step 2) Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
     Step 3) And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2. Each cover is two pages (front and back).
My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning. This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command. I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you? When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals. We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog. That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it. Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night. The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics. Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night. The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together: Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover. That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that?
Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then? When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect. All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night. I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?

How to generate PDF with bookmarks?

Hi,
The business request is to have pdf report with bookmarks. There is no predefined bookmark object in Livecycle Designer/SFP so my idea is to add some scripting to the form to generate bookmarks dynamically. I defined a standard pdf form with several lines of JavaScript embedded. The script is running in the form preview in Livecycle Later I was testing the form by calling its function module and looking at the generated PDF file. Unfortunately it seems there is no script embedded in the final output PDF generated by ADS.
Is Javascript supported in pdf forms? Do I need to perform any additional operations to enable the Javascipt? Do I need to pass additional parameters to ADS? I tested the following settings:
       fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
       fp_docparams-DYNAMIC = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFTAGGED = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFCHANGESRESTRICTED = ' '.
I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi Lata,
May be there is some error in the JavaScript code written.
Sometimes if there is an error in JavaScript then from where the error occurs from there the JavaScript wont work in the Adobe Form.
To check whether JavaScript contains errors or not. You just simply open your Adobe Acrobat Reader goto Edit in that goto Preferences and in that Select "JavaScript" in that you find the JavaScript Debugger there you enable "Show Console on errors and messages".
This may help you in some way or the other.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

Making a PDF with "Outline" and Bookmarks Using Pages

Hi, I'm using Pages 1 and I have tried making a PDF with outline breaks but I failed. I thought using paragraph styles for my document would work but when I exported my document to PDF, all I got was a PDF that only has the thumbnails view but not the outline view. Also, when I exported my document that has bookmarks to PDF, all the bookmarks don't work anymore. How can I make a PDF document using Pages with all the bookmarks and the organization just like other PDFs that I encounter? Thanks

Hello LadyinStilettos,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. If I remember correct, in Pages 1.x there is no way to export text links to PDF. An outline view creation doesn't exist.
If you want to have links in PDF (of the TOC, too), then you should upgrade to iWork'06. But outline view doesn't exist here like it doesn't in version 1.x.

Merging pdfs with ability to edit a form

When I merge two pdfs in Acrobat 8 then reopen them in Reader (which is the only software my client has to view/edit pdfs) I can no longer save the data typed into the forms--I can print the document as is with the information, but the pdf form needs to be filled out by a couple people. Does anyone know of a way I can merge two pdfs and still retain the ability to edit the form?

Can't save edits. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back in to enable reader rights (it's a client who would actually have to do it), but that's okay. Thanks for your help.

Need to know how to merge interactive form with text page pdf

I have an interactive pdf form, I need to merge this with another pdf page which is not a form. Kindly advice how I can do so using Adobe livecycle or acrobat pro X.
Regards,
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
How is your Interactive PDF form is created(LC Designer or Acrobat X). If you used LC Designer then you cannot merge the page, the only option is to create a new page in designer and copy and paste the content.
If you used acrobat to create the Form then you easily merge the PDFs using combine feature in Acrobat.( File> Create> Combine files)
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

Export a report though the URL as a PDF with BOOKMARKS

Hi. I would like to export a report though the URL as a PDF with BOOKMARKS.
As recommended in other posts, I updated Crystal Reports XI to Release 2 and I am able to export my report as a PDF with the bookmarks within the Crystal Reports tool.
Is there a way to export my report as a PDF with the bookmarks through the URL ?
Specifically, I would like to know the syntax of the URL to include the bookmarks.
Thanks.
KP

You need to use OpenDocument feature.
.NET:
[http://<ServerName>businessobjects/enterprise115/infoview/scripts/openDocument.aspx?iDocID=<idocid>&sOutputFormat=P]
