Bookmarks - with the right pagenr - point to the wrong pg

Post by dxcarnadi »

Hello

All the bookmarks (see attachments) have the right pagenumber but nevertheless they point to the wrong pages!

Except one bookmark "PREfACE" .. it points to the right page.
Please compare with the first bookmark "PREFACE" .. it points to the WRONG page.
But both bookmarks have the same pagenumber .. namely 4 ... four.

I don't understand. Do you?
How can I repair (wihout much manual work) the bookmarks?
Thank you.

I use version 6.0 build 317.1

To me it seems like the bookmarks are pointing to the right pages, but they point almost to the bottom of these pages instead of to the top (or the correct position on the page).

You can check this by doing a right mouse click onto a bookmark and then clicking "Properties" in the shortcut menu.

At the right of the window, you will see the Bookmark Properties.
There you click the three points (...) at "Go to a page in the Document".
In the Edit Actions List dialog box, you will see the X / Y coordinates (not pointing to the correct place on the page).
To change them, you can double click on it.

Maybe, you can tell us how these bookmarks have been add to the PDF?

Sorry, I looked over the "TOC-Davis.txt" enclosed in the ZIP-file.

So, I suppose you have add the bookmarks via Advanced > Bookmarks > Generate Bookmarks From Text File ...

I have done a test with it, via PDF-XChange Editor V6.320.1 (deleted the existing bookmarks and re-run), and the result is correct. Your (faulty) PDF was created with version 6.317.1

In PDF-XChange Editor Version History, I find that the problem has been fixed since version 6.318.0.
"Fixed an issue with the position stored in bookmarks created from selected text. (T#3532) (25665)"

Thanks a lot Willy! :D

dxcarnadi - As Willy has suggested, please try recreating the bookmarks with the latest release and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Hello

I've found that old PDF-file in the Internet .. an ebook with 500 pages .... with the "wrong" TOC-bookmarks already there.
I've created manually only the "PREfACE" bookmark ... as a test.
I didn't know about the (T#3532) (25665) "error".

My solution is .. without updating XChangeEdit:
o export all the bookmarks to a text-file.
o delete all active bookmarks.
o import the bookmarks from the text-file.
Voila!

Fortunately it is an english ebook. Otherwise I could get a 7bitASCII problem ... during export/import.
