Hi Dan,
Thank you for your comments -- I think you probably hit the nail correctly on all of those -- and as you've surmised, Point Motivator could really use an update to smooth out these rough edges.
The real reason it hasn't gotten attention from me is that there doesn't appear to be much interest in the concept, and it feels like perhaps there are no real users; so it just goes to the bottom of the todo list..
However, I will try to get a minor update out at least that takes care of these worst offender bugs. I definitely appreciate any help you or anyone else gives in identifying the issues to fix -- makes it all that much easier for me to release a quick update.-mouser (November 29, 2012, 10:11 AM)
@Contro
It seems the approach of creating a toc based on keywords is not practical because your docs may have heading styles so the resultig toc would be a mess.
Hey have you tried nitro? Look for "text masking" on this page.
Good luck!-kilele (November 17, 2012, 07:01 PM)
a-pdf.com require ghostcript from sourceforge.
A little complicated.-Contro (November 17, 2012, 03:53 PM)
what's complicated about that?
maybe the way a-pdf interacts with ghostcript? - I've never used a-pdf but I do use PDFCreator (also on sourceforge) as my PDF printer - it automatically installs ghostscript.-tomos (November 17, 2012, 04:11 PM)
I don't see the tool.-Contro (November 17, 2012, 12:30 PM)
See http://www.a-pdf.com/word-to-pdf/index.htmYou can create PDF from Microsoft Word files (*.doc) with bookmarks using A-PDF Word to PDF.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried that one.-dr_andus (November 17, 2012, 12:40 PM)
Is your toc a real toc generated by msword or just an index made by hand?
msword autogenerates a toc (with links/bookmarks) by taking text with 'headline' styles,
there has to be some way to automatically assign a headline style (h1,h2,h3..) to any any keyword of your interest and then insert a toc to create links.-kilele (November 17, 2012, 01:28 PM)
@Contro, I don't grasp what you try to accomplish.
If you have a msword document with a toc, then that's sort of having already bookmarks..-kilele (November 17, 2012, 12:49 PM)
Not to hijack a thread, but I need something else entirely. I have been trying to get a script to extract the bookmark, and the pages to the next bookmark, and name them after the bookmark. Like extracting chapters in a book to separate files.
I get a 500 page PDF with loan documents in it, bookmarked the Note, the Mortgage, Title policy etc. I need to extract those sections and hopefully name them after the bookmark. So if page 0 is bookmarked "Note", 1, 2 ,3, pages, then the next bookmark on page four is "Flood", I need pages 0,1,2,3 extracted to a file called "Note". Then the next to "Flood" and so forth through the entire file. I am using Acrobat Pro XI, so a javascript or sequence is preferred.-y0himba (November 15, 2012, 12:58 PM)

Debenu PDF Maximus might be able to do something close to that. It's not cheap, though it does come up on BitduJour once in a while (I got my copy for zero dollars there).Split by bookmarks — split files based on bookmark hierarchy-dr_andus (November 15, 2012, 01:17 PM)

Jpdftweak has a feature to add bookmarks from a csv file,
there may be some commandline option to add entries to that csv,
so you would need a script to autogenerate that csv according to specific words in your pdf.-kilele (November 15, 2012, 12:20 PM)
Creating automatic bookmarks in a pdf
Sometimes I download a pdf of a a law with titles, chapters and articles.
And I would like to have bookmarks of the titles, chapters and articles of the law, and in general of any other subject.-Contro (November 14, 2012, 11:42 AM)
Check out the product list at A-PDF (some of them are free), as they have a lot of specialist tools. You might find something that might automate at least part of the process. If all fails, they can also make you a customised tool.
Granted, a lot of these are one-trick ponies, but then one-trick ponies can be very useful sometimes...
(Disclaimer: I only tried their PDF Comment Collector; on the other hand, it did what it said on the can perfectly well.)-dr_andus (November 15, 2012, 11:24 AM)
