Can Javascript be used to modify bookmarks using external URL's

New Here ,
Mar 05, 2025 Mar 05, 2025

We currently have some pdf's that have bookmarks to external files using a url e.g. https://externalsource/PDF_files/file_abc.pdf.

 

We are changing where these files are located and need to update all the bookmarks to be e.g. 

https://externalsource.com/PDF_files/file_abc.pdf.

 

Is there way to do this in bulk per pdf file or even bulk over multiple files at a time?

 

Once the update is done we would need to remove the javascript from within the PDF for security reasons...potentially.

 

Open for suggestions on other ways to do this in bulk.

 

Sorry if this is a silly question.

This forum is for Adobe's RoboHelp product. If your PDF tool is Adobe's Acrobat product, you could ask it there, otherwise in the forum for your PDF tool.

 

The alternative is to go back to whatever tool, such as Word, that generated the PDF's and do a mass find and replace.

 

Sorry but this does not seem to be a question for this forum.

I use a program called AutoBookmark by Evermap to do things like this. I am not affiliated with them, just a long-time, satisfied user.
