Printing from bookmarks

Post by yugushen »

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a feature of printing from bookmarks? For example, if I want to print a whole chapter, I just need to select the bookmark of that chapter and click print. I think it'll be very convenient for printing a portion of the file. Currently, I have to manually input the start page number and the end page number to do the same thing.

Thanks.

Bookmark in PDF file is just a "pointer to position on specific page", but does not describe chapter or something similar, so we cannot determine what to print.

Hi Lzcat,

Thank you for your reply. I understand that a bookmark is only a pointer, not contain any range information. But we can find a range. One possible solution in my mind is that the range could be from the selected bookmark to the page just before next bookmark at the same level. Sorry if it sounds silly, just want to share my thought. :)

Thanks.

As the bookmarks are just pointers they could be "messy" - while in most cases they are showing the logical structure of a file it is not impossible to have (deliberately or by accident) bookmarks that overlap or a later one pointing to earlier position in the document. So the only safe way is to input the start and end page.

Stefan
