Marks in big PDFs

[AchMol]

Hi all,
we build big html trees with typemill and also big PDFs with the ebook plugin. This works good so far.
But we loose all the navigation inside the PDF Files. Is it possible to use jump marks or anchor (Sprungmarken?) in the PDFs somehow?

The lost navigation refers to the ToC-Navication within a single page? If so, then they are hidden in the css of the ebook layout:

https://github.com/typemill-resources/ebooks/blob/master/booklayouts/report/layout.css#L628

You can simply try to unhide them with the new css custom field in the ebook plugin, something like:

ul.TOC{
  display: block;
}

I never tried those navigation elements in ebooks, so I am not sure if they work in that context. If there are problems, I can try to fix them in the next release of the plugin....

Ah, ok, thanks. My css skills are a bit rusty i'm afraid but I found the TOC definitions. After changing to "block" there are links from the index to the correct mark in the document, but the links are in html style so they lead to the browser and not inside the pdf.

Thank you for the test, then i have to rewrite those links for the next version. I hope to find some time for it in the next weeks.

Were you surprisingly able to find some time somewhere? Then I would try again with the current version... ;-)

Sorry, I had holidays and other projects, I will look into it soon
