A small program that could create or edit bookmarks in PDFs would be great. For that matter, something that extracted a list of bookmarks would be really useful.

How about something that could transpose colors in a PDF without rasterizing any of the content?

@Elfwreck: Nice suggestion ... What would you do with extracting the bookmarks of a PDF ?

@frabjous: Thanks a lot ... So if you have a title in black color for example, you want to change it to red. Things like that ?

Sure, but not just that. Suppose I want to change all the black in the PDF to blue. Or suppose I want to invert all the colors, so that it goes from the usual black on white to white on black.

Build a table of contents as a page inside the book. If it's a textbook, use the list as topics for lessons. Send out the list as advertising, to encourage other people to read the book. Compare number and titles of chapters of a dozen books. Just count them to know how many chapters it has, if they're not numbered. Have a convenient list to work with, if conversion to another format scrambles the formatting & loses the page breaks. |

How about an accurate conversion of pdf tables into epub format? While keeping fonts as well?

Yes. Amazingly, that program I linked to in my last post is the only free program I could find that promises to allow bookmark creation. It's too bad it dosn't work for me. All the other programs that allow this cost money. I just want the book to open up where I last left off, like an ereader program should. Is there a solution that already exists out there?

jPDFbookmarks These are open source Java programs that handle bookmarks. I don't have a lot of experience with them. (You can also put them in with pdflatex's pdfpages package, but that's a relatively steep learning curve if you don't already know LaTeX.) |
