Hello,

Some PDFs have no table of contents (bookmarks). Here's an example as shown in SumatraPDF.

Is there a software* to add one to an existing PDF file, ie. I don't have the original source?

Thank you.

* qpdf, cpdf, mutool, etc.

Edit: Should have checked the archives before asking

Just create a text file by copy/pasting the ToC (with a bit of regex, possibly), and run this command:

Code:

cpdf.exe -add-bookmarks bookmarks.txt input.pdf -o output.pdf
