My understanding is that the tip is inaccurate. The phrasing "names of objects" is overly broad: only LibreOffice bookmarks are exported (just tested with LibreOffice 7.5.0). Moreover, they are not exported as "valid bookmark targets" (presumably PDF bookmarks, which is incorrect), but as "named destinations". > 4. Similarly, could you kindly look at the help page for this control: In addition to the inaccuracies reported above, the sentence "The bookmarks [...] in PDF files can be defined as rectangular areas." is incorrect. PDF bookmarks are another name for outline items. Even substituting "named destinations" for "bookmarks" does not fix the inaccuracy, as neither are "rectangular areas". The PDF Reference version 1.6, section 8.2.1, defines "destination" as: A destination defines a particular view of a document, consisting of the following items: • The page of the document to be displayed • The location of the document window on that page • The magnification (zoom) factor to use when displaying the page Of which "named destinations" are destinations referenced by a string (their name). I do not think it's useful to delve down into the specifics of what is a named destination, however, which is why I propose the following text for both the extended tip and the help page: Enable the checkbox to export the bookmarks (targets of references) in your document as PDF named destinations. This allows you to create links to specific locations in your document. I've also taken the liberty to revert @Buovjaga's edit, as it adds to the confusion between a mislabeled "bookmark export" feature (this issue) and an "outline export" new feature (hypothetical new issue). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
