create a list of bookmarks from different pdf files

Hi,

You can try the action wizard included in the attached file. Launch it with Acrobat, then you open the List of Bookmarks.pdf file and click on the List of Bookmarks action.

Then you add all files you want the bookmarks on the list:

and you click on "Start":

That's all! The List of Bookmarks.pdf file now contains the list into both a field and an attachment.

Here is the script of the action wizard:

if (this.documentFileName=="List of Bookmarks.pdf") {
	global.thePath=this.path;
} else {
	function listOfBookmarks(bkm,nLevel) {
		var symbols=[""," •"," –"," ¬"," -"];
		var s="";
		for (var i=0; i<nLevel; i++) s+=" ";
		try {
			var theSymbol=symbols[i];
		} catch(e) {
			var theSymbol=symbols[symbols.length-1];
		}
		if (bkm.name!="Root") theText+="\r"+s+theSymbol+" "+bkm.name;
		if (bkm.children!=null) for (var i=0; i<bkm.children.length; i++) listOfBookmarks(bkm.children[i],nLevel+1);
	}
	var theText="";
	for (var i=0; i<this.documentFileName.length; i++) theText+="#";
	theText+="\r# "+this.documentFileName+"\r";
	for (var i=0; i<this.documentFileName.length; i++) theText+="#";
	listOfBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
	console.clear();
	console.show();
	//console.println(theText);
	var otherDoc=app.openDoc(global.thePath);
	if (otherDoc.getField("theList").value.length) otherDoc.getField("theList").value+="\r\r";
	otherDoc.getField("theList").value+=theText;

	try {
		otherDoc.removeDataObject("List of Bookmarks.txt");
	} catch(e) {}
	otherDoc.createDataObject("List of Bookmarks.txt", "©™Σ","text/html; charset=utf-16"); //
	var oFile=util.streamFromString(otherDoc.getField("theList").value);
	otherDoc.setDataObjectContents("List of Bookmarks.txt", oFile);
	otherDoc.saveAs(global.thePath);
	otherDoc.closeDoc();
}
