source links

Source links are simple model elements defining a section the sourcebook by referring the sourcebook, the page and name as the start of the section. They work together with the sourcebook view.

create source links from existing pdfs

Create a complete sourceLink based TOC from a pdf configured as sourcebook. First create a sourceLink and set the sourcebook property, leave the page property blank. Now use the Create source links from sourebook sourcebook-view action to process the pdf. When using the action on a source link with no source and no page, for all in the preferences configured sourcebook a TOC is created.

When the pdf contains an outline a sourceLink object is created and set to the page. This way you get a SourceLink tree equivalent to a TOC, and as the SourceLink object is a source, the sourcebook view will be linked with the selection of a SourceLink.
