[Tex/LaTex] Probem with Bookmarks and Linking and page numbering

bookmarksindexinglinkspage-numbering

I have several problems with my latex book:

I want the appendix bookmark as an extra bookmark on part level, now it is under my second part. In the table of content its is right, but not on the pdf bookmarks.
The bookmark link of the Index is not correct, if I click on it, I go to the list of tables, not to the Index
The page numbering is totaly wrong. How can I do big roman Letters for the frontmatter and normal letters on the mainmatter without getting problems with the linking? I want that page numbers on every page, now there is no number or totally wrong.

My Latex – Code:

I tried a lot and hard for it and I could find no solution – would be great, if you could help me. Thanks

1. Appendix bookmark

Package bookmarks allows to restart the bookmark hierarchy at top level:

\bookmarksetup{startatroot}

If the appendix is something like

\chapter{Appendix}

then the entry in the table of contents is formatted as chapter, not as part. Instead of

\bookmarksetup{startatroot}
\chapter{Appendix}

something like the following can be used:

\cleardoublepage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\appendixname}
\chapter*{\appendixname}

Explanation, see 2.

2. Index bookmark

\printindex
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Index}

Then you get the page number from the end of the index in the table of contents. The bookmark also needs an anchor that can be set by \phantomsection.

\cleardoublepage
\phantomsection % anchor setting
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\indexname}
\printindex

3. Page bookmark links

The following example shows, how the correct absolute page numbers can be get from labels for use in \bookmark. I use package zref here for the labels and references, because it provides absolute page numbers and expandable extraction methods.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{-30pt}{20pt}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename      \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}

\usepackage[hidelinks,bookmarksopen=false]{hyperref}[2011/02/05]
\hypersetup{
  pdftitle={test},
  pdfauthor={\textcopyright test},
  pdfsubject={test},
  pdfkeywords={test},
}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\usepackage{shorttoc}

\usepackage{makeidx}         % allows index generation
\makeindex

\usepackage{tocstyle}
\usetocstyle{allwithdot}

\usepackage{zref-abspage}

\makeatletter
\newcounter{zpage}
\renewcommand*{\thezpage}{pagelabel\the\value{zpage}}
\newcommand*{\pagebookmark}[2][]{%
  \stepcounter{zpage}%
  \zref@labelbyprops{\thezpage}{abspage}%
  \zref@refused{\thezpage}%
  \bookmark[{%
    page=\zref@extractdefault{\thezpage}{abspage}{1},%
    view={XYZ},%
    #1%
  }]{#2}%
}
\makeatother

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

The bookmark window:

4. Empty pages

\section*{}\newpage

is not the best way to create empty pages, the risk of side effects because of the complex \section is too large. A simple \null is sufficient to get something invisible on the page:

\null\newpage

Headers/footers can also be suppressed, if needed:

\begingroup
  \thispagestyle{empty}
  \null
  \newpage
\endgroup

But in the cases above often a simple

\cleardoublepage

might suffice.

5. Invisible links

Because the document is intended for printing, invisible links make sense. Since hyperref 2011/02/05 v6.82a option hidelinks is added for this purpose.

[Tex/LaTex] Adjust Bookmarks numbering in Beamer

Unfortunately, beamer doesn't really support numbered/unnumbered sections. It can however be patched to provide some attempt at this functionality.

Here, I create a new counter called realsection that only gets incremented on non-starred sections, not for starred sections (as you have noticed, section gets incremented for both in beamer). Using a new counter should be more robust than trying to tweak the existing one. This solution also has the advantage of not having to remember to manually mess around with adding minus one etc to counters.

\documentclass{beamer}
\hypersetup{
  bookmarksnumbered=true
}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}

[Tex/LaTex] Bookmarks not linking with Table of Figures and Bibliography properly

The bookmark links to the anchor that \addcontentsline uses. Since it comes before the table of figures or the bibliography, it links to some event before (the table of contents/the last subsection). \phantomsection can be used to create a new anchor:

\cleardoublepage
\pdfbookmark{\contentsname}{Contents}
\label{Table of Contents}
\tableofcontents
\newpage

\phantomsection
\label{List of Figures}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}
\listoffigures
\newpage

\phantomsection
\label{List of Tables}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}
\listoftables
\newpage
...

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography} 
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{\jobname}

Alternative for the standard lists

\addcontentsline should go to the very first beginning of the lists. \addtocontents allows such placement:

In the preamble (or right after `\begin{document}`:

\AtBeginDocument{%
  \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\label{Table of Contents}}%
  \addtocontents{lof}{%
    \protect\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\listfigurename}%
    \protect\label{List of Figures}%
  }%
  \addtocontents{lot}{%
    \protect\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\listtablename}%
    \protect\label{List of Tables}%
  }%
}

Then \addcontentsline and \label refer to the chapter title of the list. And the code in the document simplifies to

\cleardoublepage
\pdfbookmark{\contentsname}{Contents}
\tableofcontents
\newpage

\listoffigures
\newpage

\listoftables
\newpage

Disadvantage: It takes some runs, because in the first run \addcontentsline goes into the .toc file, in the second run, it goes on to the .lof or .lot file and in the third run the entry is set in the list of figures/tables.
