Code Sample: Add PDF Bookmarks

Working with Bookmarks

jPDFAssemble and jPDFProcess allow to create new bookmarks or manipulate existing bookmarks in PDF documents.

Here is an example on how to add bookmarks for each page of a PDF document:

// Get current bookmark root
Bookmark rootBK = pdfDoc.getRootBookmark();
 
// Create a root bookmark if it's null
if(rootBK == null) 
{
  rootBK = pdfDoc.createRootBookmark();
}
 
// Add a bookmark for each page
for (int i = 1; i <= pdfDoc.getPageCount(); i++) 
{
  Bookmark bk = rootBK.addChildBookmark("Page" + " " + i);
  // add a go to page i action to the bookmark
  pdfDoc.addGoToPage(bk, i);
}
 
// Save the PDF document
pdfDoc.saveDocument("doc1_bookmarks.pdf");
