PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

Greetings, I am a first time user of PDFSharp and it works great. But I am having problems getting Bookmarks (the PDF Outline) to appear in my document. I have a folder that contains multiple PDF files in which I am merging. When each file is merged, I want to create an outline entry for it. Here is the code.

Dim fiBaseFiles As FileInfo
Dim pdfMerge As New PdfDocument
Dim pdfBookmark As PdfOutline

' Loop through the files and merge
Try
For Each fiBaseFiles In disSubPDFDirectory.GetFiles()
Dim pdfBase As PdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(strPDFPath & "\" & fiBaseFiles.Name, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)

For intX = 0 To pdfBase.PageCount - 1
Dim pdfPage As PdfPage = pdfBase.Pages(intX)

pdfMerge.AddPage(pdfPage)

If intX = 0 Then
pdfBookmark = pdfBase.Outlines.Add(fiBaseFiles.Name, pdfPage, True)
End If
Next
Next

The merged PDF is being created but there is not an outline that is being produced. Am I doing this correctly?

Thank you for the help. This pointed me in the right direction. You were correct in that I was using my input file as trying to put the Outline (duh). I also had to add the page definition for the output page and it it worked fine. Here is the final code for others to view.

Dim fiBaseFiles As FileInfo 'The individual files in the report directory
Dim pdfMerge As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument() 'The new merged PDF, i.e. the plan
Dim pdfMergePage As PdfPage 'Each page of the merged (Plan) PDF
Dim pdfBookmark As PdfOutline 'The PDF bookmarks for the plan

' Loop through the files and merge.
Try
For Each fiBaseFiles In disSubPDFDirectory.GetFiles()
Dim pdfBase As PdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(strPDFPath & "\" & fiBaseFiles.Name, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)
For intX = 0 To pdfBase.PageCount - 1
Dim pdfBasePage As PdfPage = pdfBase.Pages(intX)
pdfMergePage = pdfMerge.AddPage(pdfBasePage)
If intX = 0 Then
pdfBookmark = pdfMerge.Outlines.Add(fiBaseFiles.Name), pdfMergePage, True)
End If
Next
