Outlines JavaScript action

Hi,

You say on your site about the SimpleBookmark class the following remarks:

Bookmark processing in a simple way. It has some limitations, mainly the only action types supported are GoTo, GoToR, URI and Launch.

The list structure is composed by a number of HashMap, keyed by strings, one HashMap for each bookmark. The element values are all strings with the exception of the key "Kids" that has another list for the child bookmarks.

All the bookmarks have a "Title" with the bookmark title and optionally a "Style" that can be "bold", "italic" or a combination of both. They can also have a "Color" key with a value of three floats separated by spaces. The key "Open" can have the values "true" or "false" and signals the open status of the children. It's "true" by default.

The actions and the parameters can be:

· "Action" = "GoTo" - "Page" | "Named"

o "Page" = "3 XYZ 70 400 null" - page number followed by a destination (/XYZ is also accepted)

o "Named" = "named_destination"

· "Action" = "GoToR" - "Page" | "Named" | "NamedN", "File", ["NewWindow"]

o "Page" = "3 XYZ 70 400 null" - page number followed by a destination (/XYZ is also accepted)

o "Named" = "named_destination_as_a_string"

o "NamedN" = "named_destination_as_a_name"

o "File" - "the_file_to_open"

o "NewWindow" - "true" or "false"

· "Action" = "URI" - "URI"

o "URI" = "http://sf.net" - URI to jump to

· "Action" = "Launch" - "File"

o "File" - "the_file_to_open_or_execute"

As you can see in my following PDF example, the action is a _javascript_ action.

109 0 obj<</Count 4/Type/Outlines/First 272 0 R/Last 278 0 R>>

endobj

272 0 obj<</Parent 109 0 R/Next 274 0 R/Title(Bibliographic data)/A 273 0 R>>

endobj

273 0 obj<</S/_javascript_/JS(this.pageNum=0;)>>

endobj

274 0 obj<</Parent 109 0 R/Next 276 0 R/Prev 272 0 R/Title(Abstract)/A 275 0 R>>

endobj

275 0 obj<</S/_javascript_/JS(this.pageNum=0;)>>

endobj

276 0 obj<</Parent 109 0 R/Next 278 0 R/Prev 274 0 R/Title(Description)/A 277 0 R>>

endobj

277 0 obj<</S/_javascript_/JS(this.pageNum=1;)>>

endobj

278 0 obj<</Parent 109 0 R/Prev 276 0 R/Title(Claims)/A 279 0 R>>

endobj

279 0 obj<</S/_javascript_/JS(this.pageNum=2;)>>

endobj

Is it not possible to add this type of action to the SimpleBookmark class?

It does not seem to be very difficult: I did myself a fix into the bookmarkDepth and createOutlineAction methods.

But to have an adapted itext jar from you is more a solution I think.

Best regards,
