Thread: 9.0 PDFs lost 'bookmarks' tab
Something seems to have gone wrong with generating the version 9.0 PDFs on the website: both A4 and US have no bookmarks tab. (I'm reading with Adobe Reader 7.0.0) Just now I pulled from git.postgresql.org, and built the 9.0 and 9.1 A4 PDFs: these are both OK (have the bookmarks tab). (The 8.4.4 A4 PDF on the site is OK too) ISTM this is worth fixing; without bookmark-tabs the PDFs are much less accessible. Erik Rijkers

From this page: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/ With Okular Version 0.9.2 the 9.0 US PDF has a working Bookmarks tab, as well as the Thumbnail and Reviews tabs, but the Contents tab is disabled. (It works with the 8.4 US PDF.) Perhaps it has something to do with the filtering to reduce the file size; it may have had some unexpected side effects. -Kevin

Yes the JPDFTweak process may have stripped that out. :S I can confirm the issue :/ -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935

I could only get the bookmarks back if I exported the bookmarks and re-imported them: java -jar jpdftweak.jar -i inputfile.pdf -savebookmarks bookmarks.csv java -jar jpdftweak.jar -i inputfile.pdf -os -loadbookmarks bookmarks.csv -o outputfile.pdf -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935
