Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks

Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks

[Jean-Philippe Rey]

Hello all,

I am willing to use ConTeXt to produce a bunch of stickers. My stickers are grouped into categories but I don't want any headers or titles to interfere with the layout of the stickers, so I didn't use \startchapter and the likes. However, I would like to add pdf bookmarks in order to quickly jump to the start of a category. After taking a look at strc-bkm.mkiv, I tried the following

 		\setupinteraction[state=start]
		\definelist[building]
		\definelist[aisle]
		\placebookmarks[building,aisle]
		
		\starttext
		
		\bookmark[building]{B1}
		\bookmark[aisle]{A1}
		
		Sticker 1
		
		Sticker 2
		
		\page
		\bookmark[aisle]{A2}
		
		Sticker 3
		
		Sticker 4
		
		\page
		\bookmark[building]{B2}
		\bookmark[aisle]{A3}
		
		Sticker 5
		
		Sticker 6
		
		\stoptext


But it didn't worked. I didn't get any error message but no bookmark either.

How can I directly add a bookmark to the pdf table of contents ? Previously I was using the ReportLab toolkit which provided for this purpose the bookmarkPage and addOutlineEntry functions. Is there a similar solution with ConTeXt ?

Thanks for your help,

Hi Jean-Philippe,

I think there is workaround for your case: not placing heads in document.

Here you have a shorter sample

    \setupinteraction[state=start]
    \placebookmarks[chapter,section]
    \setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=no]
    \starttext

    \chapter{B1}
    \section{A1}

    Sticker 1

    Sticker 2

    \page
    \chapter{A2}

    Sticker 3

    Sticker 4
    \stoptext

BTW, those links doesn’t seem to works with evince or xpdf. SumatraPDF
seems to have no problem with them. (Just in case you happen to use any
of these PDF viewers [I’m reporting the issue to evince developers].)

I hope it helps,


Pablo

Very good hint, thank you. It works perfectly fine with MkII. With MkIV, although the head is not printed, some whitespace is added that disturbs the layout. I tried

	\setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=hidden]

and got rid of the spurious whitespace ... but also of the pdf bookmarks :-(

	\setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=no,page=no,before=,after=]

don't work either.

Here is an example to demonstrate the problem (again, it works fine with MkII, unfortunately I am using lua to compose my stickers).


 		\setupinteraction[state=start]
		\placebookmarks[chapter,section]
		\setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=no]
		\starttext
		
		\chapter{B1}
		\section{A1}
		
		Sticker 1
		
		Sticker 2
		
		\page
		
		Sticker 3
		
		\section{A2}
		
		Sticker 4
		
		\page
		\chapter{B2}
		
		Sticker 5
		
		\section{A3}
		
		Sticker 6
		
		\stoptext

Jean-Philippe,

my fault, this is the right head configuration:

    \setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=empty,before=,after=,]

This should work now:

    \showgrid
    \setupinteraction[state=start]
    \placebookmarks[chapter,section]
    \setuphead[chapter,section][placehead=empty,before=,after=,]
    \starttext

    \chapter{B1}
    \section{A1}

    Sticker 1

    Sticker 2

    \page

    Sticker 3

    \section{A2}

    Sticker 4

    \page
    \chapter{B2}

    Sticker 5

    \section{A3}

    Sticker 6

    \stoptext

I hope it helps now,


Pablo
