Batch Print a bookmarked pdf file?

Community Beginner ,
Oct 29, 2018 Oct 29, 2018

I have an 800+ page pdf file with 21 bookmarks.  I want to print the whole thing, but have some indicator where the bookmarks begin and end so that I can insert tabs.  In this particular case there are no page numbers to go by, and going page by page is very tedious.  Therefore, I want to send the whole thing to the copier in one shot but be able to separate the bookmarks.  This can be done through slip sheets, offsetting (collating), or ever breaking the document up into individual sections as it is sent over.  Does anyone have any idea?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015.

Thanks.

The bad news is that there is no trigger you can use with a book mark triggering a slip sheet insert. As there are however "only" 21 bookmarks, I suppose best is to split the PDF file at the bookmarks and printing each of the 21 files separately. If this is a recurring job, I suppose that you should acquire a third party plug-in or do some JavaScript to handle this.

Thanks.  In this case I ended up printing them individually so that I could get the job done, however it is a recurring job and can be different sizes with higher or lower numbers of bookmarks.  Therefore, I would rather have a more permanent solution.  I'm looking into the JavaScript angle, but I've never worked with it before.  Any suggestions?

Sorry for the late answer: You should create a new thread on this in the scripting sub-forum of Acrobat. There may be a solution available or someone volunteers for free or on a paid basis to handle this for you.
