Merge PDF's with PDFTK with Bookmarks?

Question

Using pdftk to merge multiple pdf\'s is working well. However, any easy way to make a bookmark for each pdf merged?

I don\'t see anything on the pdftk docs regardin

Answer 1

I know there are other ways to do this already mentioned, but with pdftk you can take the merged pdf and add bookmarks to it by using the pdftk function dump_data to create a .info file of the existing info in the pdf. Then you can add bookmark info to the .info file by add the following four lines for each bookmark

BookmarkBegin
BookmarkTitle: name
BookmarkLevel: level
BookmarkPageNumber: page number

Then use the update_info call to update the merged pdf bookmarks with the ones you wrote to the .info file. I have written some simple functions that do this for me in autohotkey if anyone is interested. See http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/98985-scripts-to-merge-pdfs-and-add-bookmarks-with-pdftk/
