Adding TOC to PDFDocument in Swift/Cocoa using PDFOutline

问题


I'm working on a small routine that takes a number of single page PDFs and merges them together into one multi-page PDF. I'm working in Swift4/MacOS/Cocoa and can not for the life of me find any kind of example in Swift for creating an outline / only traversing an existing one (which I'm well familiar with).

Using best guess on the documentation I came up with the following which I've been twiddling w/a bit but no luck at all. The PDF comes out fine but there is never an outline/TOC in it. It might be as simple as a missing assignment or something... any leads would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, the reason it's in two loops rather than one was because I thought maybe I needed to add all pages first - but trying that didn't make a difference. Ultimately will just have one loop if possible.

static func mergePagesIntoSinglePDF(streamId: String, numPages: Int)
    {
        let newPDF = PDFDocument()
        var directoryURLStr = ""

        for pageNum in 1...numPages {

            let directoryUrl = getFileURL(streamId: streamId, recNum: pageNum)
            directoryURLStr = directoryUrl!.absoluteString

            if let pdfDocument = PDFDocument(url: directoryUrl!),
                let pdfPage = pdfDocument.page(at: 0)
            {
                newPDF.insert(pdfPage, at: newPDF.pageCount)    
            }
        }

        for pageNum in 1...numPages {

            let newDest:PDFDestination = PDFDestination.init(page: newPDF.page(at: pageNum-1)!, at:NSPoint(x:1,y:1))
            let newTOCEntry:PDFOutline = PDFOutline.init()

            newTOCEntry.destination = newDest
            newTOCEntry.label = "This is page: \(pageNum)"
            newPDF.outlineRoot?.insertChild(newTOCEntry, at: pageNum-1)
        }

        directoryURLStr = (getFileURL(streamId: streamId)?.absoluteString)!
        let fileURL = URL(string: directoryURLStr)

        newPDF.write(to: fileURL!)
    }

Appears that I was much closer than I thought. The main problem was that I needed to create a root node for the PDFOutline. I also added a little to make the NSPoint a little smarter, since you can't really assume in PDF that the "1,1 " hack is a valid coordinate (generally is... but can't assume). And of course the double loop can now be removed, but for clarity's sake I left it in:

static func mergePagesIntoSinglePDF(streamId: String, numPages: Int)
{
    let newPDF = PDFDocument()

    newPDF.outlineRoot = PDFOutline();  // CREATE PDF OUTLINE ROOT NODE!

    var directoryURLStr = ""

    for pageNum in 1...numPages {

        let directoryUrl = getFileURL(streamId: streamId, recNum: pageNum)
        directoryURLStr = directoryUrl!.absoluteString

        if let pdfDocument = PDFDocument(url: directoryUrl!),
            let pdfPage = pdfDocument.page(at: 0)
        {
            newPDF.insert(pdfPage, at: newPDF.pageCount)    
        }
    }

    for pageNum in 1...numPages {

        let pdfPage = newPDF.page(at: pageNum-1)!

        // ADD A LITTLE CODE TO MAKE THE NSPoint IN THE DESTINATION MORE SOUND

        let pdfPageRect = pdfPage.bounds(for: PDFDisplayBox.mediaBox)
        let topLeft = NSMakePoint(pdfPageRect.minX, pdfPageRect.height + 20)
        let destination = PDFDestination(page: pdfPage, at: topLeft)

        let newDest = PDFDestination(page: pdfPage, at:topLeft)
        let newTOCEntry = PDFOutline()

        newTOCEntry.destination = newDest
        newTOCEntry.label = "\(streamId) page \(pageNum)"
        newPDF.outlineRoot!.insertChild(newTOCEntry, at: pageNum-1)
    }

    directoryURLStr = (getFileURL(streamId: streamId)?.absoluteString)!
    let fileURL = URL(string: directoryURLStr)

    newPDF.write(to: fileURL!)
}
