THotPDF.RegisterNamedDestination

THotPDF

 

Présentation

Registers a symbolic destination in the Catalog /Names /Dests name tree (ISO 32000-1 §12.3.2.3). GoTo / GoToR actions and outline /Dest entries can then reference the destination by name instead of hard-coding page numbers, keeping cross-references stable across page insertion / deletion / reorder.

 

Delphi syntax:

procedure RegisterNamedDestination(const Name: AnsiString; PageIndex: Integer; FitMode: THPDFDestinationFitMode = dfmFit; Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Zoom: Single = 0);

 

Parameters

Name is the unique name-tree key (case-sensitive). PageIndex is 0-based and must point at a page that has already been created (BeginDoc creates page 0; AddPage adds page N).

FitMode selects the destination shape per Table 151:

   dfmFit[page /Fit] (whole page)
   dfmFitH[page /FitH top] (uses Top)
   dfmFitV[page /FitV left] (uses Left)
   dfmFitR[page /FitR llx lly urx ury] — HotPDF reorders parameters as Left, Bottom, Right, Top
   dfmFitB[page /FitB] (PDF 1.1, fit bounding box)
   dfmFitBH[page /FitBH top] (PDF 1.1)
   dfmFitBV[page /FitBV left] (PDF 1.1)
   dfmXYZ[page /XYZ left top zoom] (zero=inherit)

 

Compliance

No PDF/A / PDF/X gate – navigation aids are spec-allowed across all conformance profiles. PDF 1.2 minimum; auto-bumps the document Version unless StrictVersionLock is set.

 

Example
