No, I was not able to fix the commented issues yet. :-(

Pleasure to meet a fellow named destination seeker!
You have done what I was able to do and more, so far. I have
only been able
to edit existing named destinations so far, I'm afraid.
In fact, I found that if you use this method to change the
names of named
destinations, their properties are changed to the point that
they are not
usable. I am still working on this as time permits.
What version of PDFBox are you on, BTW? It's up to 1.2 now,
FYI. Not sure if
that would help, or not. I'm still on the last version.
I am using 1.2.0 too.
I found really cryptic how to use the API to add those
destinations. I understand nobody in the list is aware of any
sample, tutorial or what ever piece of doc about this topic. Right?
As I commented before, I was able to add a Destination and
verified it worked more or less fine. I said it worked because I
was able to issue:
AcroRd32.exe /A "nameddest=CHEMI" PDFOpenParameters2.pdf
and it was opened exactly where I said: 500,500.
But I said more or less, because:
- Adobe Acrobat (not the reader) doesn't show the destinations
correctly once I added mine. It is not an issue for my objective
but wondering why...
- I don't find an easy way to add destinations to specific
lines of code. I am not able to get the coords of a COString. And
BTW, in my PDFs there are tons of COStrings, most of them based on
a single letter of a word. Gulp!
I was thinking about extracting all the content to a StringWriter
in memory, split the content in lines, and perform math
calculations to know in which page I am, and which should be the
coords for such line. Although I think this is not a good way to
achieve this. Of course, I base tis solution in the idea that all
my PDFs have text, using the same font, etc...
It seems coord 0,0 is the most down,left point of a page, while
0,800 is the most up,left one. I got this info testing, so it is
not accurate.
Any advise?
Thanks again,
Chemi.
