Remarks

Use the PdfAutoBookmark structure with PdfDocumentOptions when saving a document using the DocumentFormat.Pdf format.

This class allows for the creation of bookmarks, which can be used to mark parts of a document for quick access. This can be done with documents that have been consistently formatted in outline or chapter form with sections and sub-sections, where each level uses unique font formatting to indicate each section.

The Document Writer Auto Bookmark feature will create bookmarks automatically for well structured documents that have a unique fonts for its table of contents. The document must be constructed with this kind of convention in mind in order for the Auto book-marking feature to work properly.

For example assume you have a document that have the following in its table of contents:

Set of Chapter titles that come with font: Arial17pt Bold
Set of Section titles which are parts of chapters and come with font: Tahoma 13pt
Set of Sub Section titles which come with font: Times New Roman 12pt Italic

To set the bookmarks for a document, first set the number of levels of bookmarks that you want. "Levels" represent the hierarchy of the bookmarks in the resultant bookmark outline. In our example there are three levels to be turned into bookmarks, so the number of Levels is 3 and must be set in the PdfDocumentOptions.TotalBookmarkLevels property.

To generate the auto bookmarks, you must first set PdfDocumentOptions.AutoBookmarksEnabled to true.

For first level of bookmark, you should set the following: FontFaceName to "Arial", UseStyles to true, BoldStyle to true, ItalicStyle to false, and FontHeight to 17.

For second level of bookmark, you should the following: FontFaceName to "Tahoma", UseStyles to false, and FontHeight equal to 13.

For third level of bookmark, you should set the following: FontFaceName to "Times New Roman", UseStyles to true, BoldStyle to false, ItalicStyle to true, and FontHeight equal to 12.

Notes:

The order of fonts is same as the order of levels (i.e. the first font will be in level 1, the 2nd in level 2 and so on).
Font selections should not conflict. Selecting "Arial" 17pt with same styles for both level1 and level2 will not work. Each level setting should be unique.
The maximum number of bookmarks cannot be greater than 10 levels and is limited by the number of unique fonts available in the loaded document. In the example used, it is limited to 3.
