How to Export Nested Bookmarks in Output PDF using .NET | LINQ Reporting

Hello,

I have a word template containing 2 nested foreach lists.
I Added a bookmark tag in the template for each item of both sequences

<<foreach [x1 in source1]>>
<<bookmark [x1.Name] >>
   <<foreach [x2 in source2.Where(x=> x.FK == x1.Id) ]>>
   <<bookmark [x2.Name] >>
      content
   <</bookmark>>
   <</foreach>>
<</bookmark>>
<</foreach>>

My problem is Boomarks in the final PDF aren’t nested, all bookmark are at level 1.

I would like this kind of layout:
bookmark1
      bookmark1.1
      bookmark1.2
      bookmark1.3
bookmark2
      bookmark2.1
      bookmark2.2
      bookmark2.3

How could I have nested bookmarks by using bookmark tags and reporting engine?

Thanks

Unfortunately, LINQ Reporting Engine does not provide the requested feature. However, we have logged this feature as WORDSNET-22123 in our issue tracking system. You will be notified via this forum thread once this feature is available.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

The issue you are facing is occurred because you do not specify bookmark outline levels when using LINQ Reporting Engine. Please use the attached modified template document and code example to get the desired output.

Thanks Tahir.

I tested, it seems to be OK until 3 nested levels.
However, it does’nt work from level 4. All outlines defined as level 4 are displayed in bookmark table as level 3. Could you check?
Thank you.

You need to modify the template document according to your requirement. We have modified your template document and attached it with this post for your kind reference. test_bookmark_bg_modified.docx (14.1 KB)

The template syntax should be like:

<<foreach [x1 in source1]>>
<<bookmark [x1.Name] >><<[outlines.Add(x1.Name, x1.Level)]>> <</bookmark>>
 I am << [x1.Name] >>
        <<foreach [x2 in source2.Where(x=> x.Fk == x1.Id) ]>> 
<<bookmark [x2.Name] >><<[outlines.Add(x2.Name, x2.Level)]>> I am << [x2.Name] >><</bookmark>>   
      <<foreach [x3 in source3.Where(x=> x.Fk == x2.Id) ]>> 
<<bookmark [x3.Name] >><<[outlines.Add(x3.Name, x3.Level)]>> I am << [x3.Name] >> <</bookmark>>  
<<foreach [x4 in source4.Where(x=> x.Fk == x3.Id) ]>> 
<<bookmark [x4.Name] >><<[outlines.Add(x4.Name, x4.Level)]>> <</bookmark>>
I am << [x4.Name] >>   
     
    <</foreach>>
    <</foreach>>
    <</foreach>>
<</foreach>>
