List Bookmarks with a Free Script (Updated for Acrobat 9)

By Rick Borstein

This is an update of my List Bookmarks with a Free Script article which was for Acrobat 8 users.

The new script works with Acrobat 9 and now also includes page numbers.

Legal professionals use PDF bookmarks to mark important sections. Each bookmark goes to a different view or page in the document.

I do hear from quite a few customers who want to create a list of bookmarks found in a PDF.

For example:

Since Acrobat is extensible using JavaScript, you can create a bookmark listing like the one above (for free!) using the steps provided in this article.

• Download a free, pre-built sequence file
• Install the sequence file
• Create a new PDF which lists the bookmarks in your file
