How to create PDF Bookmarks with Exaprom PDF?

Solved!
Go to solution

Reading in iText IN ACTION by Bruno Lowagie you can create bookmarks for a PDF automatically by adding chapters. Is it possible to do this with Exaprom. Can I just mod a add paragrah so that it adds a chapter?

 

I love Exaprom. Great package!

I haven't seen a way to do it directly in the package.  I would look in to using Exaprom as a template and accessing iTextSharp dll directly

Failing that, I have seen the gentleman who wrote the package on the forums before. Maybe you'll get lucky and Jean will respond 🙂

For the Chapter Bookmarks, it is easy.  For Chapter section, it is a lot of work. But, if you want to add a TOC, it is really, really a lot of work!

If you want to add sections, you have to keep track ot the references.

Are your pictures from 1.0? I can't seem to find them. I would be happy with the easy part of adding chapter level 1.

No, those pictures came from the version 2.0.  This is not implemented in the version 1. 

 

Try this VI (this VI goes at \user.lib\Exaprom PDF\VIs\Text)

Great pdf toolkit.  Such an important tool to have in LV.

 

But NI should purchase it from J-M and add features such as bookmarks and TOC and they will ensure thorough testing.
