Controlling PDF Bookmark text style attributes

sjb1 — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:05:30 GMT

Hello,

Is there any way to control the style attributes of the text of a PDF bookmark produced by SAS?

I've posted a trivial example that hopefully gets at what I want to do, please let me know if a full example would be helpful.

ods escapechar="^";

PROC DOCUMENT name=MyDoc;
    make \MyDoc\First_Level;
    setlabel \MyDoc\First_Level "^{style [font_weight=bold] Custom Text}"; /* Define the PDF bookmark label and attempt to make it Bold */
    /* place output here */
    doc close;
RUN;
QUIT;

ods pdf file="MyPDF.pdf";
PROC DOCUMENT name=MyDoc;
    replay;
RUN;
QUIT;
ods pdf close;

Thanks!

If you google for bookmark and style-template you'll find a lot of info. For instance this: http://www8.sas.com/scholars/05/PREVIOUS/2001_200.4/2004_MOR/Proceed/_2003/DataPresentation/DP05-DeLaney.pdf

Is that what you are looking for?

Best regards, Jos

Thanks for the resources, but this is not quite what I'm looking for. I want to control the attributes of the PDF bookmarks. For instance, I want to make some bold.

I've attached a picture of what I want. I can make the text bold using a PDF editing tool, but I'm curious if SAS has this capability.
