odt --> pdf conversions and section headings

[LiamG]

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I have an 80 page document with lots of headings and subheadings. I am exporting the file as a pdf and I want to be able to open the pdf file in the browser to a specific location using hashtags, ie.

Code: Select all

file:////path/to/file.pdf#introduction

The problem is that the exported pdf file doesn't recognize the headings as they are written. It works if I write this link:

Code: Select all

file:///path/to/file.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A17%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C86.2%2C683.4%2C0%5D

but I'd rather not do this, for obvious reasons.

So my question is, how do I generate a pdf file which recognizes section headings?

Welcome to the forum.

I think this is "working as designed". Search the forum (eg with pdf links ) for some alternative ways to do the same thing - I seem to remember you can do it using bookmarks.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.

The chapter headings in the manual are:

1 - Introducing Writer

3 - Working with Text
4 - Formatting Pages
5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing and E-Mailing
6 - Introduction to Styles
7 - Working with Styles

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.
