Share Bookmarks Through Button Click

I have been looking for a while but haven't come up with a solution for this yet. I am looking for a way to create a bookmark when the user clicks a button that will automatically be shared on the server. For this particular application, i don't want our users to have to create a bookmark the standard way. Is this possible to do?

Hi, Brian. If I understand your question correctly, the API you want is ActiveDocument.CreateUserBookmark. This should create a server-side bookmark when the user clicks the button. You can even specify the bookmark name, or set this dynamically using a variable and then read in the variable in the macro. All sorts of possibilities.

Hope this helps,

Vlad,

Once again you help me out. Thanks, Follow up questions is, Can this be set to be a shared Bookmark automatically? I do not see that in the API guide.

Thanks Again

Hi, Brian. No problem, glad to help. I don't think it would be a shared bookmark, and I personally don't know of any way to automate this via API unfortunately.

Hi,

It would be very nice if we can define the shared propreties of a bookmark via the API. Have you find a work around ?

Thanks
