Helo.
We work with BIRT 1.0 to generate PDF reports.
Our rptdesign files generaly contain many scripted datasets (~50), and
are divided in main sections (9) which are divided in subsections
(almost one subsection per dataset).
I am tying to get this running with BIRT 2.0, fine work
Unfortunately, the PDF generated now contains bookmarks which have
automatically been created for the the tables where a grouping is
done, which I don't need...
So, I have two questions:
1. How can I disable this automatic bookmark generation?
2. How can I manually specify other bookmarks (any
documentationavailable) pointing to the main sections headings, and
how can I name these sections (localization is necessary, I work in
Belgium...)?

As you've discovered, BIRT automatically generates bookmarks or table of
contents values for group values. You can change the values displayed by
going into the group editor and specifying a different expression for the
TOC Item Expression field. Unfortunately, you can't delete the value
specified here so the TOC always displays them (you should file a bug
requesting the ability to delete this value.)
You can specify TOC expressions for other report elements, such as a text
element that displays a section heading. Select the element, then in
Property Editor, specify an expression for the Table of Contents property.

I don't know the answer to the first question. My guess is that you cannot
localize TOC values. I suggest you submit an enhancement if you want this
functionality.
Bookmarks are for creating hyperlinks between two report elements.
Basically, there are two steps to create such a hyperlink. (1) Select the
target report element and use bookmark to identify it. (2) Select the
source report element, choose the Hyperlink property and specify the
bookmark of the target report element.
Table of contents is for specifying values for the Table of contents that
appears in the Web Viewer. In a PDF report, the table of contents appears as
PDF bookmarks (which has nothing to do with the Bookmark property in
Property Editor).
Does this clear things up?

Actually after some time I discovered that inside the "group" edit page, you can also leave empty the TOC entry, and this will result in showing no TOC (i.e. no PDF bookmark) entry at all.
On the contrary if you specify "" (black string) as value, the TOC entry will be shown, even if blank.
Hope this can help someone....
