General ⇒ bookmarks doesn't point the right place

[dieinfolk]

Hello,

I'm creating my own bookmarks since I'm not using parts, sections nor chapters.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage[]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
    bookmarks    = true,                      
    pdftoolbar   = true,            
    pdfmenubar   = true,           
}
\begin{document}
\pdfbookmark[-1]{AAA}{a0}
AAA\\[150pt]
\pdfbookmark[1]{title1}{a1}
aaa a1\\[150pt]
\pdfbookmark[1]{title2}{a2}
aaa a2\\[50pt]
\pdfbookmark[1]{title3}{a3}
aaa a3
\newpage
\pdfbookmark[-1]{BBB}{b0}
BBB\\[150pt]
\pdfbookmark[1]{title4}{b1}
bbb b1 \\[150pt]
\pdfbookmark[1]{title5}{b2}
bbb b2
\end{document}

I have two problems:

1) Levels are changed

For some reason, levels are changed:
- Title 2 and 3: are inside title 1
- Title 5: is inside title 4
Even though levels are correctly specified.

I want them to appear at the bookmark bar (adobe reader) like this:

AAA

• title1
  title2
  title3

BBB

• title4
  title5

2) Bookmarks do not point the right place

If I click AAA, then AAA appears at the very top. Why is not happening the same with the others?

Thank you very much for giving me a hand with this mess..

You should get such warnings which point to the problem:

Code: Select all

Package hyperref Warning: Difference (2) between bookmark levels is greater 
(hyperref)                than one, level fixed on input line 13.

If you would change the bookmark levels -1 to 0, the levels would be fixed.

Thanks a lot! It solved my problem!

But I used -1 level because on page 168 - Beginner's Guide -, I found this specifications:

Command Level
\part .............. -1 (book and report class)
\chapter ........... 0 (not available in article class)
\section ........... 1
\subsection ........ 2
\subsubsection ..... 3
\paragraph ......... 4
\subparagraph ...... 5

So I understood 0 level didn't exist for an article. So then, what does page 168 means?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The book refers to table of contents levels, not to hyperref's bookmark levels at this place.

hyperref complains when you omit a level and jump from -1 to 1, or from 1 to 3. The bookmark package, mentioned on page 251 of the book, fixes this issue. It's already sufficient to load it, but it can do even more for you.

uuhh now I see, thanks.

I also tried with belowpdfbookmark and subpdfbookmark, and it work as well
However, there's something I didn't understand. It's not really important, but I'm wondering why.

By clicking on the bookmarks, it shows you where the text is, and locates the text at the very top. But this is only happening for bookmarks within the first page. All the others bookmarks show you just the page, but not where the text is. Is that normal?
