Generate bookmarks from text does not seem to work
I am trying to generate bookmarks from my section headings, I have the right font, size and color and yet nothing gets generated. Also the get style from selected text is grayed out, so can't use that. Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Generate bookmarks from text does not seem to work
Hi,
Are you sure that it goes about real text? Can you edit the text? Maybe it goes about text with OCR.
Can we have an example page (PDF) that does not work at your side?
Regards.
Willy

Bridger, would you mind posting a screenshot of the "Text Matching Options" box that would have popped up when you selected the "Add" box after you selected the "From Page Text" icon? It doesn't look like you have added any text string for the function to find.
All best,

Hello, Bridger
Like Willy and PHK mentioned, It would be good if you could confirm that there actually is text in the document, or send us a sample, and screenshots of your text settings.

Re: Generate bookmarks from text does not seem to work
Some of my books seem to have additional empty text boxes which are confusing the "Bookmark Generator"...
Enclosed an example which shows the used regular expression as well as the resulting bookmarks...
BTW: "Get Style from selected Text" does not work with selected text in editing mode but only when using the hand tool.

Hello, PHK
In order to get sub bookmarks indented below, you would only need to configure the bookmark from page text pane with a unique rule for each level before generation, like so: This would ensure that each instance discovered would appear as a child under the respective parent above it.

Yes, that's fine with me.
I was just responding to OVG's question, "what is wrong with" the Bookmarks of his attached speciman file.

Hello, PHK
No worries, I appreciate the input, hopefully we can see some more details from Puffolino, or Bridger about what the problems are, because at the moment I am afraid that I am not quite understanding.

Re: Generate bookmarks from text does not seem to work
I am not able to get summarized bookmark entries ("2 Symmetrische Chiffren") here but only seperated entries ("2" and "Symmetrische Chiffren"). I've tried a lot of different options to get a correct result but failed so far
Maybe there was also some confusion about my previous postings remark which was thought as a hint for the statement "style from selected text is grayed out" in the initial question of this thread.
______
Beside this, I'd like to have better editing options for the "Generate Bookmarks from Page Text" dialog.
Some ideas:
- Allow to copy text properties from a selected text in edit mode (not only for the Hand Tool)
- Copying (cloning) rules
- Moving rules in the tree (like it can be done with bookmark entries)
- Deleting multiple rules (all children)
- Allowing an option "same as parent rule" for "Tile Formatting" or alternatively add a button "Copy to all children rules"

Re: Generate bookmarks from text does not seem to work
Hi guys.
Well you get two tickets for this. One is a bug report. The Bookmarks creation should make a single bookmark where it is splitting into two. This ticket is RT#5902: Generate Bookmarks from text issue.
The other ticket is a Feature Request for the suggested improvements. RT#5903: Feature request :: Editor :: suggested improvements to the "Create Bookmarks from page text" Tool
We will do what we can to fix that issue where it breaks the desired line into 2 bookmarks.
We will consider the suggested improvements, without a promise of delivery. This is a commitment to seriously looking into it, not a promise it will be done.
I hope that helps.
