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 regarding this so I don't think it's possible with pdftk.

All of our files merged will be 1 page, so wondering if there's any other utility that can add in bookmarks afterwards?

Or another linux based pdf utility that will allow to merge while specifying a bookmark for each individual pdf.

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do that. You could use the library that pdftk is built upon directly and either write a Java or a .NET program that uses iText or iTextSharp to merge your one-pagers and create the bookmarks. If you want to go the iText route, there are lot of examples available online or in the iText book (written by the iText author).

... or, let me know what's not working and I can help.
