API to programmatically read & create outlines / bookmarks

To navigate an outline tree and print its result.

void PrintIndent(PTBookmark *item) 
{
	int ident = [item GetIndent] - 1;
	for (int i=0; i<ident; ++i) {
    printf("  ");
  }
}
void PrintOutlineTree(PTBookmark *item)
{
	for (; [item IsValid]; item=[item GetNext]) {
		PrintIndent(item);
		if ([item IsOpen]) {
			printf("- %s ACTION -> ", [[item GetTitle] UTF8String]);
		}
		else {
			printf("+ %s ACTION -> ", [[item GetTitle] UTF8String]);
		}
		if ([item HasChildren]) {
			PrintOutlineTree([item GetFirstChild]);
		}
	}
}
PTPDFDoc *doc = [[PTPDFDoc alloc] initWithFilepath: filename];
PTBookmark *root = [doc GetFirstBookmark];
PrintOutlineTree(root);

Read, add, edit PDF outlines and bookmarks
Full code sample which illustrates how to read and edit existing outline items and create new bookmarks using the high-level API.

A PDF document may display a document outline on the screen, allowing the user to navigate interactively from one part of the document to another. The outline consists of a tree-structured hierarchy of Bookmarks (sometimes called outline items), which serve as a "visual table of contents" to display the document's structure to the user.

Each Bookmark has a title that appears on screen, and an Action that specifies what happens when a user clicks on the Bookmark. The typical Action for a user-created Bookmark is to move to another location in the current document — although any Action can be specified.
