Bookmarks in Word document not shown in PDF document

Post by BEC Legal Systems »

I have a Word document with a Word bookmark and Heading 1 applied to another paragraph. I have the following settings:

.Option("Bookmarks.Enabled") = "Yes"
.Option("Bookmarks.AllowMultiLine") = "Yes"
.Option("Bookmarks.DisplayMode") = 0

How do I get a bookmark created in the PDF, either based on existing bookmarks or Heading styles?

Hi BEC Legal Systems,

are you setting the bookmark to be created using the office Addin?
There are many options for setting bookmark creation using this tool. The preferences for the addin are independent of the print driver. You need to open the preferences in the Office application from which you are printing, in this case Word. Not only can the addin have different settings from the driver but the Addin for Excel has different options from Word etc. The options for the specific addin that you are using are accessed through the Toolbars on Word, Excel etc.

There is a lot of flexibility here. You will notice that these are also specific to Word.

I am not setting the preferences using the Office Add-In. We are distributing only the PDF driver which is launched through VB6 code. Can these settings be configured through VB6?

Using the end user driver you could create a profile (https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... nge-driver) designed to create bookmarks (as documented in the PDFX4 manual page 36) and distribute it with the driver.

If you want to set the driver to create bookmarks programatically using Vb6 you will need access to the API available int he Drivers SDK. https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... rivers-api
