Bookmarks pane does not honor to the initial PDF settings

Post by Yi Zheng »

Hi,
I found that the Bookmarks pane does not honor to the initial PDF settings when opened in PDF XChange ActiveX. The Bookmarks pane was opened as initialized in Adobe Reader. Is it a bug or should it call any API to make it working?

Thanks.

Hello Yi Zheng,

What SDK version are you using? Also, please provide a more detailed description of what you mean.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Sasha,
Here is a PDF file with Initial View Settings as "Navigation tab: Bookmarks Panel and Page". It's supposed to show the Bookmarks Panel automatically when the PDF file loaded. Please see the following screenshot which was from Adobe,

However, in PDF XChange Editor SDK, it just loaded the PDF file without the Bookmarks Panel shows.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello eagle.zhengyi@gmail.com,

Does this reoccur in the End-User version of the Editor?

Hello Sasha,
Yes. It has the same behavior in the End-user version of PDF Editor. Please see the screenshot which was captured from the Editor as follows,

Hello eagle.zhengyi@gmail.com,

Please post this problem with the End-User Editor behavior to the End-User forums - there you will be advised further.

Hello Sasha,

I'm learning the Editor SDK now. How can I set it to honor the Initial View in the SDK? Actually I'm not using the End-user version of Editor.

Thanks.

Hello eagle.zhengyi@gmail.com,

If this is an End-User Editor problem - it should be fixed there, not from the SDK.

Hello Alex,
I'm wondering if there is any way to set it in the SDK programmable. I'm developing a software using the SDK.

Thanks.

Hello eagle.zhengyi@gmail.com,

As I said previously - please post this problem to the End-User forums - if this is an End-User problem if should be fixed from there - not the SDK. If you fix this via the SDK only, then when this is fixed later in the End-User it potentially can cause some problems with logic.

Cheers,
Alex
