Extract Bookmark and Page Numbers

I find myself recieving rather large documents without tables of contents, bookmarks, or page numbers for individual documents. After accessing the documents and creating bookmarks for each individual document, I would like to generate a report that includes the Bookmark and the Page Number for the Bookmark.

I have noticed several different codes online that may help in accomplishing this. However, they appear to be for older version of Adobe and/or have a syntax error.

Any help is appreciated. I cannot justify an additional $1,000 to $5,000 a year just to export bookmark information.

I've developed a couple of (paid-for) tools that allow you to do that. See:

They are all for a one-time fee, and under $100.

The correct scripts will work in Adobe Acrobat DC.
