PDF insert w/out adding additional bookmarks: Seeking advice on preserving existing doc structure

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a challenge while attempting to integrate a new PDF document into an existing one that already contains important bookmarks that I'd like to preserve. Specifically, I'm looking to insert the new PDF at a designated bookmark location without importing the new bookmarks from the inserted document. A longer workaround I have found is to delete the bookmarks from the PDF I am adding before insertion. However, considering that I need to repeat this process with hundreds of documents, I'm hoping to find a more time-efficient method that wouldn't risk corrupting the original bookmarks. How can I achieve this? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

    How are you currently doing it? Because as far as I recall if you use the Insert Pages command (NOT Insert File!) it should not carry over the bookmarks with it.

      Thank you for the response. Bookmarks carry over if I use the method illustrated below:

      Try dragging the pages from the Pages panel of the one file to that of the other and dropping them in the desired location.
