PDF Table of Contents or Hyperlinks

[martin-ueding]

I have a lot of LaTeX documents on my phone. They have the LaTeX PDF hyperlinks from the hyperref package. However, I cannot click on the links in the table of contents. For some reason the links I have created manually with \href{mailto:…}{…} work.

There is no table of contents (or at least I have not found it). Together this makes it really hard to navigate in the document.

I would really appreciate a table of contents view for the opened PDF.

The table of content (It's the case for Beamer presentations I've checked for instance) is available as an attached page :

• tap the document to show the sharing panel.
• you'll see there a dot on the top right indicating an attached page that you can reach with a right swype.

For inline links, this is currently not implemented. After a quick review, it's apparently quite easy to implement :

• in pdf/pdfrenderthread.cpp:86 (function rescanDocumentLinks()), one should implement the link->linkType() == Poppler::Link::GoTo case. the destination page may be stored in the QUrl storage of the link list with a specific marker like page://n.
• in pdf/pdflinkarea.cpp:88, the function should parse the URL to detect an internal link and emit a new internalLinkClicked() signal with the page number.
• in plugin/PDFView.qml:146, should catch this new signal and call goToPage() with the argument.

I'll do this and test, if everyone agrees, in the coming days (or weeks…).

I did not know that the table of contents was hidden there. Thanks for pointing that out! I'd appreciate working hyperlinks but I cannot give you any input on your implementation approach --- I have no idea about this project or Sailfish OS programming.
