Extract Pages - %Bookmark does not appear to work
Hi,
I have tried to extract pages from an open pdf which has bookmarks for each page using "Organise-Extract Pages". I chose to save each page as a separaate file and added the %[Bookmark] macro thinking that each file would be names after the bookmark for that page.
However the first file was called untitled/pdf and the subsequent file caused a name conflict which caused Editor to offer to auto number which I accepted. The subsequent files were then called _1.pdf _2.pdf etc.
I wonder what I am doing wrong?

Re: Extract Pages - %Bookmark does not appear to work
I have run a test with the latest version 9.2.357.0 of PDF-XChange Editor, and "Extract Pages" to a separate file per page seems to be working correctly.
For naming the extracted pages, I have used the %[Bookmark] macro. It seems like for every page the first bookmark in the bookmark list for that page is being used.
So, I would advise to check the bookmarks in your original document and to begin with a few specific pages, so that you can run some short tests to see if you get it to work like you wish.
Best regards.

Hi Willy
I have tested also with the latest version 9.2.357.0.
A different pdf worked so it must be something peculiar with the ones generated by autocad - more investigation being carried out....
I think I have found the problem......
The bookmarks in the document are for each page, but they are child bookmarks to a top level bookmark that has no action assigned to it.
Promoting the child bookmarks to the top level and deleting the no action bookmark fixes the issue.
Thanks for helping me solve the probem Willy.
Kind regards

Re: Extract Pages - %Bookmark does not appear to work
Hi Radi
The question is... bookmarks did exist for each page, but the software did not look for them down the levels so tried to save each file as untitled.
Would it be reasonable to expect a more comprehensive scan of the bookmark levels to reflect the "Build table of contents" function which recognises up to 999 levels, or would it be normal to think that the whole bookmark structure to be moved to the top level for exporting?
Regards

Re: Extract Pages - %Bookmark does not appear to work
Hi all,
Myself, I think it would be logic that the first bookmark of each page would be taken for the name of the file, whatever its level in the whole bookmarks list, because there is never a guarantee that there will be a level 1 bookmark for each page in the original file.
Regards.

Hi guys,
I can confirm this was fixed in yesterday's build. Please test 9.2.358.0 and let me know if that gives you what you expected?
