Example: Grouping bookmarks

The following example shows how to use the Level property to group bookmarks in the bookmark hierarchy. The input contains the following data:

Manufacturer	Model
Volvo	S80
Volvo	S80
Volvo	XC90
Toyota	Corolla
Toyota	Prius
Volvo	S80

In this example, one bookmark is generated per row in the input data, except for the second row where the bookmark is identical to the first row’s bookmark. The bookmark hierarchy in the PDF viewer will look like this:

1	In the Event tool, define variables for the Manufacturer and Model items ($manufacturer and $model).

2	In the PageOUT tool, select the Manufacturer item and define a bookmark with the following settings:

Name	Value	Level	Format	Repeat identical bookmarks
Manufacturer	$manufacturer	1	%1 - %2	Not selected

3	Select the Model item and define a bookmark with the following settings:

Name	Value	Level	Format	Repeat identical bookmarks
Model	$model	2	%1 - %2	Not selected
