Create bookmarks automatically

I have a bunch of pdfs without bookmarks.

The goal is to create the missing bookmarks automatically.

It is not possible to create bookmarks using Bookmarks > Options > Create bookmarks from structure, because this link is deactivated.

Is there an other way to generate bookmarks automatically, or using a tricky workaround?

Appreciate your help!

Try this if you're working from Word.

This option will come active when you add tags to the document.

Bookmarks can be created using a script, but you'll need to clarify what you mean by "automatically". Should the bookmark structure in each file be exactly the same? If so, it's relatively simple. If not, that becomes a much more complex task...

The bookmark structure should just reflect a hierarchical structure. If this is meant with "exactly the same structure", the answer is "yes".

I've got headings and subheadings and wish to generate bookmarks out of them.

Manually means: marking each heading, subheading, sub-subheading and define it as new bookmark individually.

Automatically means: letting the marking and generating done by computer.

Scripting: is not yet my playground. But let's have a try.

Edit: "adding tags" > how is this done? Can it be done automatically?

In the navigation panel "Tags" use "Add Tags to Document".
