Hi all

We face the challenge that in a generated report in Appway 5.3.2, the bookmarks (left hand side in Acrobat Reader) are too big and are cut-off at the bottom (c.f., attached printscreen).

How can we solve this?

This seems to happen (only/mostly?) in Acrobat Reader on Windows.

The following screenshot shows how the bookmarks are displayed in Acrobat Reader X (version 10.1.8) on Windows 7.

I don't know if the PDF specification would allow us to define the font style and font size of bookmark entries. If the specification would allow this, we would have to check if the iText PDF library also supports this.

But it could as well be a bug in Acrobat Reader. If the user opens the context menu in the bookmarks section and toggles the "Wrap Long Bookmarks" option , the bookmarks are afterward displayed correctly.

I have created a bug report for this issue. But I don't think that we will come up with a quick solution for this problem.
