How to use OutlineNode.dest?

[arun-mani-j]

Hii.

PDF document has something called getOutline() which returns an array of OutlineNode. This node has a dest property. Is there any guide on how to use it?

The type hint says it is of type string | Array:.<any:> | null.

1. If it is a string, I guess we should use doc.getDestination(node.dest), but getDestination returns an array of any or null. Is there any more information about this return value? I'm specifically interested in the page number and xy coordinates of the section.
2. If it is an array of any, what does it mean?

Thank you!

I have a pdf converted from word, and its dest is an array，for example:

[
    {
        "num": 137,
        "gen": 0
    },
    {
        "name": "XYZ"
    },
    87,
    615,
    0
]

if you want get page number, can use getPageIndex({ num: number, gen: number }) .

I referred to this #9762 .

Thanks! I think it would be great if the docs mentioned this and as well as the cases where the dest is a string or null. :)

They said in an issue that the number of active contributors are super low, so keeping docs up-to-date will be difficult. Sounds fair enough, the unfortunate truth of open source :(.

(I have tried MuPDF.js and it is quite good enough with some nice docs)

Thanks for your recommendation, I will try it out
