Direct PDF: add option to create pdf with bookmark and links only

In the PDF/UA effort CSS properties for creating bookmarks and links.
This makes creating bookmarks and links a lot easier than through the old pdfmarks.

Unfortunately you can only create a pdf with those bookmarks and links active when using the -pdfua option.
This has 2 serious downsides:

  1. you need to add the necessary pdf ua properties to your stylesheet or divpdf will not run when you add the -pdfua option
  2. you can no longer print a partial division with active links since the -pdfua option forces you to print the complete division.

For all these and many other reasons, it would be most helpful to add another option to divpdf that allows you to create a pdf with active bookmarks and links but without using the full blown -pdfua option.

  • Well, until the issue will be resolved in the future, how do you sort this out so far? Unless using -pdfua exactly. I'm trying to handle this manually, edititng the pdf's with other form writing tools like this https://w9.pdffiller.com it works out this way yet I think there's no need to explain what the shrtcomings of such a method are. At least, the whole process is slow as hell done in that fashion
