How to create bookmarks

Hi,

I would appreciate if somebody can share some code that shows how add bookmarks to a PDF file.

I already tried using this code, and many other variations (after adding a page), but it doesn't work:

          myPDF.CreateBookMark(0,'Page 3');
          arect.Left:=L;//L,T,B and R are the page margins
          arect.Top:=T;
          arect.Bottom:=T;
          arect.Right:=R;
          myPDF.CreateLink(arect,'Page 3');

After CreateBookmark failed I though I may create a link as well, but it is clear that I do not understand how to do it.

Thanks in advance.
Daniel

Re: How to create bookmarks

The easiest is to use a TPdfDocumentGDI and render a metafile in which you have inserted bookmarks via GDICommentBookmark().

See for instance how mORMotReport.pas uses this function.

Thank you, but I'm just rendering bitmaps, not metafiles.

Re: How to create bookmarks

You can take a look at TPdfEnum.HandleComment() for a low-level call to CreateBookMark() method.
