Nope.. that does not quite do what we need. What I had hoped to do was to
create one Master TOC
that would be placed in each PDF file. Each of the Actions would be
GoToR... In some cases, the
"filename" would be the file we are in currently in. In other cases it may
be another pdf. Perhaps and example
would help:
1.pdf has three bookmarks:
A
B
C
2.pdf has three bookmarks:
D
E
F
I would like to have one master TOC that has bookmarks A-F such that when
the user opens 1.pdf... they
can use the toc to seemlessly navigate A-F even across PDF files. I had
hoped to just create each PDFAction() as
PdfAction(filename, pageNumber) so that the TOC would be identical in both
1.pdf and 2.pdf. The NEWWINDOW
parameter you speak does not allow me to go from one file to the other using
the same TOC and stay in just one PDF window.
Perhaps.. I just have to quit trying to use the same TOC in all PDFs.
Wanted to ask before I gave up on it.
