PDF XChange Forum

I don't know if this question belongs to forum "Printer" or "SDK" or "Editor" or ...
----------------------------------
We have an old-fashioned "report tool" which creates report out of a database (similar to "Crystal Report"). It has output to

- standard printer (can be paper-printer or PDF-device)
- HTML
- Text
- PDF (maybe based on itext)

Now I want to add the creation of bookmarks to the PDF-output (with internal PDF function or with "standard printer" which can be PDFXChange).

Question a:
Is there a common code / a common way to add code to create bookmarks in an output?

Question b:
Can you recomment some links to read about this topic?

Simple example for better understanding:

I have pure text, opened in pure Notepad, like this:

Chapter 1:
Text text text text

Chapter 2:
Text text text text

When I print it to PDFXChange, then I will not get a bookmark. Is there a code which triggers a bookmark-crreation on the printer, like

{\\pdf_invoke_bookmark:"Chapter 1"\\}Chapter 1:
Text text text text

{\\pdf_invoke_bookmark:"Chapter 2"\\}Chapter 2:
Text text text text

Addendum:
This report tool is rather "intelligent" - it has an VB-API, it can invoke "new page commands", it can dynamically integrate images based on VB-function. This is why I hope that it can send the "create bookmark code" too.

Hello Peter2,

You can create bookmarks at 'print' time when using the Drivers API SDK:

But it can not be achieved with e.g. a command line parameter to our end user printer.

Thanks Stefan

that's the right source for further investigations.

Have a fine weekend.
