Description Wilco CLA 2009-02-09 06:55:42 EST 
When viewing a report as a pdf file, the bookmarks / table of contents are always fully expanded.
The readability of the TOC / Bookmarks improves enormously when a option is added to expand or collapse a bookmark /toc when viewing a PDF.

So what I mean is when you have a long list of TOC / Bookmarks at a certain level and you are creating /viewing a pdf. That list of TOC / Bookmarks is always fully expanded.

When there is a option to say that at a certain level the bookmarks must not be expanded, the list of TOC / Bookmarks is then shorter a better readable.

Maybe this option can be added to 'Table of Contents' group of the Edit Group window.
iText is used to generate PDF files, I think there is a option in itext:
chapter.setBookmarkOpen (false);

to do this.

This seems to me to be a simple fix.  We should add a property to the TOC property that is set to collapse or no collapse.  In the PDF Emitter the change required is this;

TOCHandler.java

			String fontStyle = style.getFontStyle( );
			String fontWeight = style.getFontWeight( );
			int styleValue = PropertyUtil.getFontStyle( fontStyle, fontWeight );
			outline.setStyle( styleValue );
                        //add this line to collapse
                        //should be based on property
			outline.setOpen(false);
