Please don't mix stuff that shouldn't be mixed,
like PdfCopy with PageEvents, that's never going to work.
Create the outline as described in Chapter 13 of the book,
then add these 'bookmarks' with setOutline.
Don't expect to have bookmarks that work on a paragraph
level; read the book and you'll understand why not.
I have the impression you are starting from the wrong
assumptions concerning PDF.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay. I accept that that I'm at fault the way was solving the problem. But my requirement is that I've some existing pdfs which I've to concatenate and at the same time have to put bookmarks at each constituents pdf's contents' starting portion in the resulting pdf. Whether this can be done at time of concatenation or i've to put outlines in each constituent pdf or i make a single pdf from scratch rather making multiple pdf. But at current I'm given the multiple pdfs with which i can manipulate only.
Your suggestion is welcomed in this regard,
Thanks and regards,
Animesh.
