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.

  • I do not understand why this is moved to the backlog again.

    Creating bookmarks and links has nothing to do with creating PDF/UA files.
    One should be able to use Direct PDF to create a PDF with just links and bookmarks by just using CSS properties.
    What am I missing here that this is no longer considered to be an urgent requirement?
    Is there another way to do this??? (and I do not want to hear: use pdfmarks)
