PDF Tools 6 loses bookmarks on merge

Post by punkgoth99 »

Hi Guys

I have a number of documents that I am trying to merge together however I lose the hyperlink to bookmarks on merge. E.g. I have a section of text that points to the title page of an appendix however, once the appendix has been inserted, the bookmark no longer points to the page.

Is there a way of maintaining the bookmarks? :?

Thanks guys

Hello punkgoth99,

Just make sure to select the correct option for handling bookmarks, as the default is to not copy them. Please see the attached image on how you can change that.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stephan

Thanks for the info. I've double checked all the settings and it's set to copy bookmarks etc. The Hyperlink still fails to point to the bookmark once the document is merged. Very odd.

is there anything else it could be?

Thanks

Hello punkgoth99,

Can you please attach before and after sample files - so that I can see what exactly is happening - as I do not think I have similar files to test with, and it will be best if I try to reproduce the issue with your samples.

Regards,
Stefan
