Pdf Outliner for your PDF products or materials

This is so that you can put Outlines in your PDF – I used it for updating my Drivethrupg Mneme Variant combat Rules.


##http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/pdfoutline.1.html 

##Go to https://github.com/eugmes/fntsample and go to Download and click on the release Pages for the latest version https://github.com/eugmes/fntsample/releases download source code 

##Unzip or Extract the source code and open the terminal in the folder

#In Terminal:

$ mkdir build

$ cd build

## Take note of Building and because you will really have to Install the libraries from the following cairo, fontconfig, FreeType2, GLib, Pango, gettext, CMake,  and Unicode blocks.

$ sudo apt install cmake

$ sudo apt-get install fontconfig

$ git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango.git

$ sudo apt install pangocairo

$ sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-dev 

## Check the error code and simply google the errors- select the text and then google the error for the correct library installation command.

## Open this link: https://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt Right Click n the page > Save As > Save in same Folder of Build

## make sure blocks.txt is in same folder

$ cmake .. -DUNICODE_BLOCKS=/Blocks.txt

$ make

$ make install

## On terminal type pdfoutline you will be given the format for outline creation found in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/pdfoutline.1.html
