Bookmarks - Sentence Case

Hi

 

Ok, so I've searched the forums and have come really really close, but just need a bit of help tweeking here ...
I would like to change the bookmarks in Acobat PDF to Sentence case.
eg: tommy went to the well > Tommy went to the well

 

Searching through the forums I found this great piece of scripting that converted everything to lower case:

 

function DumpBookmark(bm, nLevel)

{

var s = "";

for (var i = 0; i < nLevel; i++)

    if (nLevel >0){

      s= bm.name;

      bm.name = s.toLowerCase();

      }

    if (bm.children != null)

      for (var i = 0; i < bm.children.length; i++)

      DumpBookmark(bm.children[i],nLevel+1);

}

DumpBookmark(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);

 

 

 

HTH, Reinhard

 

 

That worked great - but to go through all the bookmarks to change the first letter is proving to be a bigger mission then I anticipated. Can anyone assist in tweaking the above coding so that it converts to Sentence case, or perhaps provide another solution?

    Either:

     

    bm.name = s.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + s.slice(1);

     

    or:

     

    bm.name = s.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + s.slice(1).toLowerCase();

     

     

    depending on what you want.

    Hi George

     

    Thanks so much! Almost gave up on somebody giving it a shot. Weekend here in S.A. so will try on Monday and see if it works.

     

    Once again, thank you. Will let you if it was successful.

    George - you rock.

    I tried the second one and it worked like a bomb.

    Thanks so much! You have saved me hours of work!
