This is not exactly what you've been asking for, but still might be useful to someone.
If pdf is paginated it is never a big deal for me to see the exact page number in the TOC or in the index and quickly jump to it, although I would usually bookmark the whole TOC too (instead of linking the whole TOC).
The quickest or the easiest way for bookmarking a big TOC for me, would be OCR-ing it and then embeding its txt-file into pdf using apps like JPdfBookmarks and then just linking every bookmark by quickly jumping to the particular page (a bit quicker if pdf has been paginated beforehand) and right-clicking "set destination" in pdf reader as e.g. Foxit Reader.

For pdf pagination we can use becypdfmetaedit app (the Pages tab).

For those with Adobe Acrobat I would suggest using Clearscan for the great quality of almost an exact pdf scanned image, pretty small pdf size and quick flipping/rendering on every tablet or ereader (for 100 pages (text only) a pdf size should be below 2 MB i.e. 20 MB for 1 000 pages)
