Hi I need to do a PDF containing the following - A TOC showing page numbers and being clickable - the content, mainly chapters and sections, with sections having a "Back to TOC" link - an index, which takes actors of my content and say : Actors Bal : on page 2 and page 3.
Currently, the content is grabbed from an XML file, but that's not the current issue (it would rather be this one : http://www.nabble.com/Best-way-to-go-for-automating-PDF-creation---td22543559.html ) Currently, the way I'm doing it is the following (well almost, some bits are still missing, but that the way I'll follow) : - I use a modified ChapterEvents which add a named destination called TOC after each section, as well as register chapter/section titles and page number - I use IndexEvents for the index part, based as well on local goto and page number - when all the content is parsed, I first create a new pdf with only the TOC, to know how many pages it'll do (adding manually a chapter for the index). I store this number - I then create a new page, add the named destination TOC, and the chapter/section titles, pages number (each one added of the TOC number of page) and links - I move the pages corresponding to the TOC at the beginning (reordering the pages) - I finally add the index and its links, still adding the number of page of the TOC to the page numbers I've stored Is it a better way to do it ? The example document I'm trying to reproduce is 800Ko large (including TOC, content and index), would it be problematic to proceed the way I do with such large doc ?
