Question Get list of sections to add bookmarks?
Hello,

I'd like to add bookmarks to an existing PDF that has none.

Is there a way to parse a PDF and extract its structure into a text file, which I could then feed to cpdf?

Code:
cpdf.exe -add-bookmarks bookmarks.txt input.pdf -o output.pdf
Thank you.

Edit: Since each kind of title (H1, H2, etc.) are formatted in a specific way, it might be possible to find all objects that match (font + size).

Possibly you could extract the text layer and then parse through it looking for obvious beginnings of chapters or sections based on the text? Would depend on the PDF.
