RE: [PDFdev] Bookmarks

Title: Bookmarks

If you only need to access this "text file" from your Acrobat plug-in, why don't you use a PDF type file to store this information. You can create a new Cos doc using the API, copy information (e.g. complete bookmark Cos objects) from your "real" PDF document to the CosDoc, and at the end write the CosDoc out to file. When you are ready to apply the bookmarks to your second document, you open the CosDoc and copy the items from the CosDoc to the PDF document. There is no need to convert your Cos objects to text. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Cyr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PDFdev] Bookmarks Thanks.  I am currently using all of these APIs, but I actually need to save the entire CosObj for each Bookmark, and somehow recreate them.  Getting each bookmark's title is not the problem.  I need to store the CosObj somehow (in text format), then I can recreate it later.   -Chris -----Original Message----- From: An Hong Phan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 1:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDFdev] Bookmarks You might want to lookup these APIs:   PDDocGetBookmarkRoot(pdDoc); PDBookmarkGetTitle(pdBookmark, strTitle, _MAX_STR_LEN); PDBookmarkHasChildren ...

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks. -Chris
