Re: generate table of contents
Dear Alex,
I have uploaded a attachment to illustrate what I need.
For example:
In image 1.jpg,it show a hierarchical relations of folders and files.
In image 2.jpg,it show a table of contents according to the hierarchy as shown in 1.jpg.
so,I want the Editor SDK API to support a capability with which I can generate a table of contents as shown in 1.jpg.
Do you understand what I want now?
It will be appreciated that if you can provide me some sample code to achieve my goal.
I look foward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Re: generate table of contents
Hello kyo,
The bookmark plugin allows generating a table of contents from the bookmarks. Please try the Build Table of Contents feature in the end-user Editor in the Advanced menu.

Re: generate table of contents
Hello,
I wonder that if the table of contents serously dependes on the bookmarks.In others words ,if there is no bookmark created, the table of contents would be blank either.
Only the bookmarks are created, can we build the table of contents accordingly.
Is my understanding right?

Re: generate table of contents
Hi kyo,
That's correct the ToC is built using the bookmarks in the document. If there are no bookmarks, you will have a blank ToC.
Thanks,

Any help will be appreciate and some sample code would be pretty welcome.
I am waiting for your response.
Many thanks.

Hi kyo,
If you're looking for assistance on doing this with the End User application, please see here:

If with the SDK, I'll have to leave Alex to advise there.

Re: generate table of contents
Hello kyo,
This is not available programmatically with the Editor SDK right now. Meaning that the appropriate operations can't be used and are not yet documented to use. You only can use the commands as you are using them in the End-User Editor. We are planning to add this in the future though.

Re: generate table of contents
Hello,
Have you meant that there is no way to create a table of contents programmatically even with the latest released Editor SDK.
I need to clarify one thing that can the Editor SDK generate a table of contents,no matter what measures(except via UI) be used ?
Under the current situaton,what is the proper workaround to generate table of contents without UI interface?
Until now, I have made little progress in the "table of contents" for many days.
I am waiting for your quick reply anxiously.
Thanks in advance.

Re: generate table of contents
Hello kyo,
There is a way - we give the possibility to create text content at the needed coordinates with needed styles and also we give the possibility to Insert pages. Basically you can do all of this on the Core Level by using the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vie ... wTextBlock method.
Here's the small sample on how to use this:
https://gist.github.com/Polaringu/10ccd ... d54f5072d2
Also, you can search the forums - there were such questions before.

Alex

Re: generate table of contents
I did give you a solution to your question. For now, the only possible way is to manually insert text and pages if needed to create the table of contents from code without using the UI.

Re: generate table of contents
Dear All,
I am working on generating a table of contents for pdf.
I intend to insert text and pages to the pdf manually, as you told me.And I decide to use the above sample code ,to add text to page.
Thus,I need some basic functions ,as follows,to achieve this:
1.how to get the added text size or rect (I need calculate the position of the text)?
2.how to set the font size,font color ,font style of the added text?
Code: Select all
private void addRotatedTextToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Document doc = pxcInst.NewDocument();
PDFXEdit.PXC_Rect rcMedia;
rcMedia.left = 0;
rcMedia.bottom = 0;
rcMedia.top = 800;
rcMedia.right = 600;
PDFXEdit.IPXC_UndoRedoData urData;
PDFXEdit.IPXC_Page page = doc.Pages.InsertPage(0, ref rcMedia, out urData);
PDFXEdit.PXC_Rect rcText;
rcText.left = 100;
rcText.bottom = 600;
rcText.top = 700;
rcText.right = 300;
PDFXEdit.IPXC_ContentCreator CC = doc.CreateContentCreator();
PDFXEdit.PXC_Rect rcBlock;
CC.TranslateCS(100, 0); //Shifting 100 by X axis
CC.RotateCS(3.0); //3 degrees rotation
CC.ShowTextBlock("Test Text Block Text", rcText, rcText, 0, -1, null, null, null, out rcBlock); //draw text block
page.PlaceContent(CC.Detach(), (UInt32)PDFXEdit.PXC_PlaceContentFlags.PlaceContent_After);
pdfCtl.OpenDocFrom(doc);
}

Re: generate table of contents
Hello kyo,
1) For the rectangle calculation use the ShowTextBlock method with the PXC_DrawTextFlags.DTF_CalcSizeOnly flag.
2) You will need to use the correspondent methods of the Content Creator to set the font size, color etc.

Alex

I did not quite understand what you mean.1) For the rectangle calculation use the ShowTextBlock method with the PXC_DrawTextFlags.DTF_CalcSizeOnly flag.
2) You will need to use the correspondent methods of the Content Creator to set the font size, color etc.
Please give me a simple code snippet to illustrate your approach that I can understand more easily.
1)I only want to mesure the text's size/rect ,but indeed,not add the text to pdf.How can I do this using ShowTextBlock method ?Please give me a code snippet.
2)How can I use Content Creator to the font size, color etc.?Please give me a code snippet.
Thanks in advance.
Re: generate table of contents
Hello,
Besides,I also want to know how to define a PXC_Rect variable whose size(left/top/right/bottom) is assigned according to the text's length and font size.
Thanks.

Re: generate table of contents
As I previously said:
1) The method will look the same, only the nFlags attribute should be PXC_DrawTextFlags.DTF_CalcSizeOnly. This will give the size of the text that you want to show but it will not show the text itself.
2) Look at the IPXC_ContentCreator methods SetFont, SetFontSize, SetColor etc. With this you are setting the Content Creator with specific parameters that will be used when showing text.
Cheers,
Alex

Re: generate table of contents
Dear All,
I have successfully generated a simple table of contents by adding text and inserting pages manually.
But all the items are static and can not be linked to the target page.
Now,what I want is that I need all the items are linked.That is to say,if a user clicks one of the items ,it can go to the correponding page like a hyperlink.
How can I implement my goal?
Thanks.

There are quite a few samples included in the SDK installation package. Please do take a look at those first, as I am not a developer myself and can not get you such samples from my end.
