General ⇒ hyperref - how to use \addcontentsline different bookmark

[elzzup2010au]

Hi

I need a solution to the following:
-------------------------------------
I want to add an entry to the table of contents using

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{name}

But I do not want the "name" used to be automatically added to the pdf bookmark.
Instead I want to use a different shorter name.
( Using: pdflatex & miktex 2.8 )
-------------------------------------
Is this possible?
If so how?

Thanks in advance

Minimal example code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,pdfborder={0 0 0},pdfpagelabels]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
%------------------------------
\pagestyle{plain} 
\tableofcontents
\cleardoublepage 
%------------------------------
\chapter{one}
test
\newpage
test2
%------------------------------
% I want to add an entry to the table of contents 
% But I want a different entry name in the PDF - bookmarks!
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Really long name that looks good in table of contents but is annoying in the bookmark section!}
%------------------------------
\end{document}

You could use hyperref's \texorpdfstring command. (See the hyperref documentation.)

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{\texorpdfstring{Really long name that looks good in table of contents but is annoying in the bookmark section!}{Short entry for bookmark}}

Wow!

Your solution works 100%

As we say here in Australia.
