Table of contents with linked entries in PDF-export

edited May 2009 in General
Hello everybody,

I'm writing an application that creates a product catalogue using report
builder
which needs to be written to a PDF after creation.

PDF creation itself works like a charm, I also found the entries in this
group
to create a table of contents...

One thing still needs to be solved:
How can I create the entries in the TOC in a way that I can (ctrl-)click
them
in the resulting PDF to jump to the corresponding page?
(just like a TOC in Word...)

Is this something I can do with RB alone or do I need some of the usual
add-ons (gnostice/pragnaan/waler)?

I'm a bit clueless with this one... searched for PDF / hyperlinks / anchors,
but found nothing that would really help... :-(

Anyone around who could give me some advise?

Thanks in advance,
Torsten.

PS: D7 / RB 9.03 (would update to v11 of needed)

    Hi Torsten,

    The built-in PDF Device does not currently support the use of shortcuts
    within the PDF document. This is something we could possible research for a
    later version of ReportBuilder. I am unsure if any of the third party
    add-on utilities offer this feature either though you may check with
    Gnostice.
