Hello everyone,

is it possible to import a xml-file as bookmarks into an existing pdf-file? (for example see attached xml-file)

What syntax must the xml-file have?

Are there any tools or scripts?

I couldn't find anything according to Acrobat Pro DC

Every help is welcome

 

Best regards

Franz-Georg

    As mentioned, this can be done using a custom-made script, but with some limitations.

    Another option is to use a plugin or a stand-alone tool, which are more powerful and create actions of other kinds than just executing a JavaScript code.

     

    If you're interested in hiring someone to develop this tool for you (for a fee), feel free to contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com] and we could discuss it further.

    Acrobat has no such function. However, a JavaScript program can add bookmarks; however it is limited in its ability to read files. JavaScript details in the Acrobat SDK. NB it cannot add Go To Page links only Execute JavaScript links.
