Bibliography reference not processed

Post by manuels »

Hi.

Office2PDF doesn't process bibliography references, even if I check the "bibliography1" or "Literaturliste (german bibliography)" checkbox on the Settings->Bookmarks page.

Example:
test[1] ->should reference to the bibliography on the end of the document


Setup:
Windows Vista Business SP1
Office 2007 Enterprise SP1
PDF X-Change Pro 4.0.00000 Build 152


Thanks
Manuel

I'm afraid that file that you have sent to us doesn’t have any kind of active content which can be translated as Cross-reference link.
Actually if you want to create bibliography references in PDF I can recommend you to create bookmark at needed bibliography item (Ribbon panel -> Insert tab -> Links group -> Bookmark) and then insert Cross-reference link wherever you want.
As example you can look at the attached file.

Hi,

thanks for the adivce.
I have Word 2007 documents with more then 100 bibliography references. If you insert a new book to the list of literature, the references change.
I don't think that somebody adds the references manually as bookmarks.

In the Word documents the references will be generated automatically (take a look at my attached file).
You can add one or more items to the reference list and generate a new list of literature. After refresh, the references e.g [3] points to the correspondent entry in the list of literature, this will happen automatically.

I don't believe that this references can't be generated automatically with PDF X-Change.

Best regards
Manuel

Can I ask you what exactly bibliography citation styles you are using in this document? MS Word 2007 with default settings recognizes it as "Unknown style".

As I can see the problem is that references [1] (which actually is citation) doesn't point to some specific place in the document. So it’s hard to say in what place link in PDF should be pointing.
