WebViewer Outline Panel does not show color or style options

WebViewer Version: 8.12.0 (Angular)

The outline panel in the web viewer does not show color or style options. We are setting the bookmark color and style in some backend process. It would be nice if the color and style would reflect in the outline panel. We are using the example provided here to set color and style. Is this a bug with the webviewer or is there something that I am missing in the webviewer? The below image show a document opened in adobe on the left side. The right side is the same document opened in webviewer. Thanks.

// Adding color to Bookmarks. Color and other formatting can help readers 
					// get around more easily in large PDF documents.
					red.SetColor(1, 0, 0);
					green.SetColor(0, 1, 0);
					green.SetFlags(2);			// set bold font
					blue.SetColor(0, 0, 1);
					blue.SetFlags(3);			// set bold and italic

Hello jlucas,

Thank you for reaching out to WebViewer Support.

WebViewer doesn’t currently support colored outlines right now. We do have this item in our backlog planned for development.

In the meantime, there is a workaround to achieve this. If you don’t already have built a custom UI, you can add a custom panel and then populate it with the outlines, after which you can implement how they’re styled and colored with CSS.

Please find below the relevant documentation:

Please let us know how this works for you, and if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,

Maggie V.

Thanks for your response maggiev. Is there a rough time frame or were this feature sits in your backlog. Our team is looking to implement a custom panel if this will not be implemented in the near future.

Thank you.

Hello jlucas,

Looks like it’s planned for the next release 10.2 or 10.3. I’ll make sure to notify you when it’s out, in the meantime, thank you for your patience!
