Bookmark Tools

PDF and Scripting Tools

Bookmark tools are great for finding, extracting, editing, and creating bookmarks

Acrobat -- Extract Lowest-Level Bookmarks

10/25/2020

This script is similar to my Extract Chapters by Bookmarks script, only it extracts the pages that belong to the lowest-level bookmarks instead of the highest-level ones (the "chapters"). This is useful if you want to split your document into small, usable files based on your bookmarks structure.

Acrobat -- Export Bookmarks Structure (to PDF/TXT), including page numbers

10/25/2020

This script will create an independent TXT or PDF file with the summary of the entire bookmarks structure, properly indented and formatted according to the original structure. It is also possible to add the page number to which each bookmark points to, creating a sort of Table Of Contents.

Acrobat -- Create Bookmarks from Titles

10/25/2020

This tool tries to bring order to messy PDF files by identifying the title (or heading) on each page and creating a bookmark to match it. Many articles, manuals and books are created without a proper bookmarks structure, and sometimes even without a Table of Contents (TOC). This tool tries to fix that creating a bookmarks structure based on the most important title that appears on each page your file. If multiple pages contain the same title, only the first one will be considered, since it doesn't make sense to have identical bookmarks pointing to each page.

Acrobat -- Extract Chapters by Bookmarks

10/25/2020

This script will extract all the chapters from a PDF file based on the bookmarks structure. The names of the created files are based on the names of the bookmarks.

Acrobat -- Link to a Specific Bookmark in a PDF

PDF files have various Open Parameter options: you can link to a PDF at a specific page, named destination, zoom level, etc. But what you can't do is link to a specific bookmark.
