PDF export : create bookmarks in pdf

Help / Discuss
1

Hello,

when exporting pages to pdf using the PDF export plugin, is it possible to generate bookmarks in the pdf based on the title levels for example ? Something analogue to the bookmark created when we create a pdf from Word. This is very convenient for the navigation in a long document.

Regards,

Alain

I think what you’re describing is what issue XWIKI-23380 is about - so no, it’s currently not possible.

Thanks. Indeed it seems that headless chrome can’t create PDFs with bookmarks.
I found a workaround using the Python library fitz (PyMuPDF). It requires to parse the pdf file, detect the titles (I have to create a logic there for that), add the bookmarks and save to a new pdf. The links are not broken.
I tried Spire.PDF who does the same but had issues with it.
Not ideal but if a logic in the titles can be detected, it’s a kind of solution.
