Contro:
Creating automatic bookmarks in a pdf

I try to explain my very best. 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.

So I need an OCR software to recognize all my needs. Or anyother similar.

Do you know anyone ?

It seems that Nitro (payware) has what you are looking for.
Maybe you can send a pdf to "google drive" and then process that document with an autohotkey script to insert bookmarks according to user-defined keywords..

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.)

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.

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.
