Creating bookmarks from source documents

For each PDF source document in an assembly, you can specify the name of a bookmark in the result document by using the bookmarkTitle attribute. The bookmark appears in the result document as a level 1 bookmark whose destination is the first page of the source document.

In the following example, each chapter in the book will have a level 1 bookmark. All bookmarks that are present in the source documents are moved down a level.

Example: Creating bookmarks from source documents

<PDF result="TheBook">

	<PDF source="Chap1" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 1"/>

	<PDF source="Chap2" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 2"/>

	<PDF source="Chap3" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 3"/>

</PDF>

For example, suppose the bookmarks in each of the chapters are:

Section A

Section B

Section C

The bookmarks in the result document will have this hierarchy:

Chapter 1

Section A

Section B

Section C

Chapter 2

Section A

Section B

Section C

Chapter 3

Section A

Section B

Section C

To create more than one level of bookmarks from the source documents, you must use intermediate results. (You cannot, for example, specify the bookmarkTitle attribute on the PDFGroup element.) The following example illustrates this point.

Example: Creating bookmarks from source documents

<PDF result="PartI">

	<PDF source="Chap1" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 1"/>

	<PDF source="Chap2" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 2"/>

	<PDF source="Chap3" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 3"/>

</PDF>

<PDF result="PartII">

	<PDF source="Chap4" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 4"/>

	<PDF source="Chap5" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 5"/>

</PDF

<PDF result="PartIII">

	<PDF source="Chap6" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 6"/>

	<PDF source="Chap7" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 7"/>

	<PDF source="Chap8" bookmarkTitle="Chapter 8"/>

</PDF>

<PDF result="BigDoc">

	<PDF source="PartI" bookmarkTitle="Part I"/> 

	<PDF source="PartII" bookmarkTitle="Part II"/>

	<PDF source="PartIII" bookmarkTitle="Part III"/>

</PDF>

The resulting bookmarks will be

Part I

Chapter 1

...bookmarks from Chap1

Chapter 2

...bookmarks from Chap2

Chapter 3

...bookmarks from Chap3

Part II

Chapter 4

...bookmarks from Chap4

...etc...
