public static void main(String[] args) throws PDFException, IOException { createResultFolder(output_path); int error_code = Library.initialize(sn, key); if (error_code != e_ErrSuccess) { System.out.println(String.format("Library Initialize Error: %d\n", error_code)); return; } String input_file = input_path + "AboutFoxit.pdf"; String output_file1 = output_path + "bookmark_add.pdf"; String output_file2 = output_path + "bookmark_change.pdf"; String bookmark_info_file = output_path + "bookmark_info.txt"; try { PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc(input_file); error_code = doc.load(null); if (error_code != e_ErrSuccess) { System.out.println(String.format("The Doc [%s] Error: %d\n", input_file, error_code)); return; } // Show original bookmark information. showBookmarksInfo(doc, bookmark_info_file); //Get bookmark root node or Create new bookmark root node. Bookmark root = doc.getRootBookmark(); if (root.isEmpty()) { root = doc.createRootBookmark(); } for (int i = 0; i < doc.getPageCount(); i += 2) { Destination dest = Destination.createFitPage(doc, i); String ws_title = String.format("A bookmark to a page (index: %d)", i); Bookmark child = root.insert(ws_title, e_PosLastChild); child.setDestination(dest); child.setColor(i * 0xF68C21); } doc.saveAs(output_file1, e_SaveFlagNoOriginal);
