I'm having an issue where when merging multiple documents together with the 'MergeFileList' function, the outline/bookmark data does not merge and the resulting document only contains the outline of the first document in the file list. Is this how it's supposed to work and am I doing something wrong?

I had a similar issue. Can you send me your PDF file to confirm my solution.

I sent you an email, as requested, with three attachments and a bit of code, illustrating what I was attempting to do. As I mentioned, if you use 'MergeFileList' (or MergeFilelistFast), the resulting PDF only contains the outline from the first file in your 'FileList'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The MergeFileListFast function does not process outlines. The outlines from the first documents are preserved because of a copy operation and not because of merging.

As I have told you per email the alternative would be sponsoring for a correction or to use the MergeDocument function.

Best regards, Marian

Sorry, I have to correct my last statement. It seems that Outlines with QuickPDF are not merged. This feature is totally missing :-(

In my Visual CUT software, I have a command line option for merging multiple pdf documents. I had to add significant amount of code to also merge the outlines because of this same issue. It works well, but I wish I could have avoided the extra work... :o)

While I have my own solution, consider sponsoring Marian's work to add this missing feature to the library. I sponsored Marian's work on another issue, and am very satisfied with the result.

Hi Marian!
I think 'till now all members here wanted to solve special bugs. Your bugfixing (in this cases) was sponsored by the relevant members... Is it possible to get a list... Bugfix description... What bugfix costs how much... What are the costs for all bugfixes 'till now... ?
Best regards,
Ingo

Hi Ingo,

at the moment I organize my work based on one of your previous proposal. After sponsoring me for any feature you want I will offer you access to all my binary improvements based on the amount of your sponsorship (240$/Year).

Best regards, Marian
