PDF bookmark page number issue

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello, support team,

I'm seeing an issue where the bookmark PageNumber property is different than what's originally set. Please see attached sample solution.

The first button on the form generates the "AposeMerge.pdf" file, in the code I'm setting the bookmark action with page number 1, 3 and 5 for the 3 pdf files being merged.

The second button loads the "AposeMerge.pdf" file, and when retrieving the bookmark property, the PageNumber returned from the first bookmark is 0, where it should be 1.

For reference, I manually combined the 3 files using Acrobat, called "AcrobatMerge.pdf". The 3rd button loads this file and the PageNumber returned is 1, which is correct.

Am I doing anything wrong in creating the bookmarks or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Jian

Any news on this? We’re seeing the same issue.

For a bookmark that is an XYZ destination (set externally by a PDF viewer), we see the .Destination property on the bookmark being something like “{2 XYZ 0 841.92 0}” where 2 is the (correct) page number.

However, for a bookmark that has a GoToAction that has been set from Aspose.PDF, we see the .Action.Destination property being something like “{0 Fit}” where the page number is 0 when it should be 1. In a viewer the bookmark goes to the correct page, so it appears only to be an issue with the reading in. We can work around it by adding 1 to the page number in the second case (but not the first), but it would be useful to know exactly when this effect will or won’t occur, and whether it can be made more consistent.

Thanks,

George
