Issue

I have been experiencing an issue with some PDFs which have bookmarked outlines/Table of Contents. These are complete books downloaded directly from Springer publishing (not OCR) and the bookmarked table of contents navigates to the section headers when clicked in PDF readers like Adobe, Foxit, and PDF XChange.

However, these PDF section links do not function when opened in Firefox or Zotero. The TOC displays, but clicking on the elements does nothing.

I opened the error console in Zotero. When these links are clicked, the following error is shown:

goToDestination: "null" is not a valid destination array, for dest="subsection.19.2.2.4". 5 viewer.mjs:5560:15
goToDestination resource://zotero/reader/pdf/web/viewer.mjs:5560

============
Steps to Reproduce
============

1. Load PDF into a new parent item.
2. Open the PDF Viewer and Outline Tab.
3. Click on the bookmarks. No navigation occurs.


I have hosted a PDF where this occurs on my cloud account:

  • I have updated this post with Report ID 1341227290 and error logs.
  • Thanks for the file. That seems to be a PDF.js regression. We have reported it to them. You can remove the file now.
  • This should be fixed now in beta 103.

    Hello, I am experiencing the exact same issue (PC Win 10). Has it been solved in the last version ?
    Thank you for your help!

    Does it happen with all PDF files?
  • Thanks for your question! I have tried with 2 different PDF files after having used PDFescape online solution to add outline items in both PDF files.
  • @Xav781 Could you send an example PDF file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?
  • Hello, I have sent you the requested file along with a link to this thread.
    Thank you for your assistance!

    As a complement of information, it seems that it works ok with the latest version of Zotero on iPad running IOS 18...but still not working on Zotero PC Win 10.
