BUG: missing links when followed by a new line...

Post by Marisa_11 »

Hello,

After using the command "links from bookmarks", the links for words located at line endings followed by a new line are NOT created, here are two screenshots showing the problem:

NB: I have tried every option available ("match only full words", and so on) but nothing helps... :(

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Marisa_11

Sorry If I have misunderstood, in my tests, the link generation worked as expected, placing one link on each segment of matching text across two lines. As such I suspect that the error you are reporting pertains to multi-line bookmark titles? Is that correct?
If so, you can enable that option from the bookmark generation properties (double click on a text pattern in the "generate bookmarks from page text" function) and checking this option:

If this is not what you meant, please send us a copy of that document, or at least a single page which you tried to use this feature on, so that we can investigate the issue further for you.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem :( It is not related to multi-line bookmark titles...

I've found out other issues when creating links from bookmarks, links are not created in the following cases:
- words (two or more) across two lines (line endings);
- and words with quotation marks (i.e single/double quotes).


I prepare a test file summarizing these different cases and send it as soon as possible.

Kind regards
Marisa

Hi Daniel,

Here is the test file, for your convenience I highlighted the problematic words (missing links).

Here are my settngs ("Create Links from Bookmarks"):
Match case: UNCHECKED
Match whole words: CHECKED
Ignore consecutive spaces: CHECKED
Font name, font size: Garamond-Bold, 15.0, tolerance 0.3.

Links are not created when there are:
- sentences (with two or more words) across two lines (line endings); (NB: no matter you leave UNCHECKED or CHECKED "Match whole words")
- words "surrounded" (before or after) by quotation marks (single/double quotes, i.e 's, ", ', ’ and so on) .

It is as if PDF-XChange could not properly "recognize" and "isolate" the words in bold when "Match whole words" is CHECKED.

I look forward to your feedback, thanks for your help! :) .
Kind regards,

Marisa

No matter how hard I look, I haven't found a way around the problem ... :(
As it stands, is there no solution?

Hi, Marisa_11

Unfortunately in my testing this past week, I have been unable to find a solution or workaround for you. As such I have created a formal bug report for our dev team to investigate this further. While I cannot guarantee a timeline, know that this will be fixed in the future.

Tickets are internal only, so if you are looking for an update in the future, please ask any member of our support team here, for details on the following ticket number:
RT#5648: LinkFromBookmarks ignores linebreaks and text in quotes

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate. I am confident that the dev team will do its best to come up with a solution as soon as possible :wink: PDFX-Change is a great software, powerful and easy to use.
If I may take this initiative, I will post some suggestions for some useful new features regarding creating and managing bookmarks and links.

Kind regards,
Marisa

Hi Daniel,

This a "little echo" to this topic : https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=36830#p152059

Do you know when the fix will be available?

Tia for your help! :)

Hello Marisa_11,

There hasn't been much movement on that ticket, so I've asked for an update.
There's no need to start separate topics for the same issue and ticket, so I will just merge these two posts in the original topic.

Kind regards,
Stefan
