This is VB.net code that I use to insert bookmarks that refer to specific pages.
Just creating the outline objects creates the bookmarks.
First you get a reference to the bookmark root, then you add
hierarchical outline objects based on action objects.
Let's say you have a pdfwriter object, m_wrtReport, and a contentbyte
reference, m_objContentByte.
Dim objOutlineRoot As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline
Dim objOutline As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline
Dim objSubOutline As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline
Dim objAction As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction
' get bookmarks root
objOutlineRoot = m_objContentByte.RootOutline
' add page 1 bookmark
objAction = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(1,
New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination.FITH),
m_wrtReport)
objOutline = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline(objOutlineRoot, objAction, "Page 1")
' now add suboutlines for page 2 and 3
objAction = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(2,
New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination.FITH),
m_wrtReport)
objSubOutline = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline(objOutline, objAction, "Page 2")
objAction = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(3,
New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination.FITH),
m_wrtReport)
objSubOutline = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline(objOutline, objAction, "Page 3")
' add page 4 bookmark
objAction = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(4,
New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination.FITH),
m_wrtReport)
objOutline = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline(objOutlineRoot, objAction, "Page 4")
' now add suboutlines for page 5
objAction = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(5,
New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination(iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfDestination.FITH),
m_wrtReport)
objSubOutline = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfOutline(objOutline, objAction, "Page 5")
