Question

SGML and PDF bookmarks

Hi,


I have a DTD and FOSI provided by a customer. Their FOSI has custom pdf bookmark tagging in it (<atidmd: etc.,=" etc.).=" everything=" else=" seems=" to=" work=" fine=" except=" for=" these=" custom=" bookmarks=" when=" i=" compose=" the=" book.=" i=" am=" using=" print=" composer=" and=" file--="> Compose--> Pdf File. I've tried with distiller="on" and "off".


I read in an older thread a comment from someone saying that custom bookmarks are not possible using Print Composer, but only when using PE environment.


Is this true?


Thanks,


KM

    Hi Kim,
    Hopefully someone will reply directly to your question about PC vs. PE. I
    switched to PE so long ago, I am not 100% aware of the PC details anymore
    (that and what was true when I switched may not be true anymore).

    What I do remember is that to get PDF bookmarks out of PC used to require
    identifying elements as division elements in the .dcf. So, do you have a
    .dcf? Do you see content in the .dcf like:

    <elementoption category="division" element="chapter"/">

    If not, try adding that and see what you get.

    Hi Kim,
    Composer works for me. I've attached the section of my book that includes information on PDF bookmarks.
    Good luck!Suzanne Napoleonwww.FOSIexpert.com"WYSIWYG is last-century technology!"
