RE: PDDocumentOutline Help

[Nick Brockett]

Hi Tilman

Many thanks for the reply.
Shortly after posting I discovered shall we say my ignorance.
I had confused "bookmarks" with what I thought were a listing of page contents.
Your time to reply is appreciated. Yes, I can see that I have created bookmarks.
What I really was after was an initial page (as part of the document) with 
links to navigate to pages.
Since posting I have achieved this below (snippet)
PDPage target = (PDPage) masterDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(0);
              PDPageDestination dest = new PDPageFitWidthDestination();
              dest.setPage(target);

              PDActionGoTo action = new PDActionGoTo();
              action.setDestination(dest);

              PDAnnotationLink link = new PDAnnotationLink();
              link.setAction(action);
              link.setDestination(dest);

              PDRectangle rect = new PDRectangle();
              // just making these x,y coords up for sample

              rect.setLowerLeftX(72);
              rect.setLowerLeftY(600);
              rect.setUpperRightX(144);
              rect.setUpperRightY(620);
              link.setRectangle(rect);
              page.getAnnotations().add(link);


So I am ok for now.
Cheers
Nick

Your code works fine with 1.8.11. (Should work with 1.8.10 too) What version 
did you use? Here's what I get:

Hi

Please can somebody explain why the following code executes without error, but 
the resultant PDF has nothing added or appended to it.

I am of course expecting to have a list of page links.

Thanks in anticipation of help.
