getBookmarksOutlineLevels()

public BookmarksOutlineLevelCollection getBookmarksOutlineLevels()

Allows to specify individual bookmarks outline level.

Remarks:

If bookmark level is not specified in this collection then getDefaultBookmarksOutlineLevel() / setDefaultBookmarksOutlineLevel(int) value is used.

Examples:

Shows how to set outline levels for bookmarks.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Insert a bookmark with another bookmark nested inside it.
 builder.startBookmark("Bookmark 1");
 builder.writeln("Text inside Bookmark 1.");

 builder.startBookmark("Bookmark 2");
 builder.writeln("Text inside Bookmark 1 and 2.");
 builder.endBookmark("Bookmark 2");

 builder.writeln("Text inside Bookmark 1.");
 builder.endBookmark("Bookmark 1");

 // Insert another bookmark.
 builder.startBookmark("Bookmark 3");
 builder.writeln("Text inside Bookmark 3.");
 builder.endBookmark("Bookmark 3");

 // When saving to .pdf, bookmarks can be accessed via a drop-down menu and used as anchors by most readers.
 // Bookmarks can also have numeric values for outline levels,
 // enabling lower level outline entries to hide higher-level child entries when collapsed in the reader.
 PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
 BookmarksOutlineLevelCollection outlineLevels = pdfSaveOptions.getOutlineOptions().getBookmarksOutlineLevels();

 outlineLevels.add("Bookmark 1", 1);
 outlineLevels.add("Bookmark 2", 2);
 outlineLevels.add("Bookmark 3", 3);

 Assert.assertEquals(outlineLevels.getCount(), 3);
 Assert.assertTrue(outlineLevels.contains("Bookmark 1"));
 Assert.assertEquals(outlineLevels.get(0), 1);
 Assert.assertEquals(outlineLevels.get("Bookmark 2"), 2);
 Assert.assertEquals(outlineLevels.indexOfKey("Bookmark 3"), 2);

 // We can remove two elements so that only the outline level designation for "Bookmark 1" is left.
 outlineLevels.removeAt(2);
 outlineLevels.remove("Bookmark 2");

 // There are nine outline levels. Their numbering will be optimized during the save operation.
 // In this case, levels "5" and "9" will become "2" and "3".
 outlineLevels.add("Bookmark 2", 5);
 outlineLevels.add("Bookmark 3", 9);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "BookmarksOutlineLevelCollection.BookmarkLevels.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);

 // Emptying this collection will preserve the bookmarks and put them all on the same outline level.
