Creating automatic bookmarks in a pdf
Contro:
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.

I don't follow you.
Are you using acrobat to create the bookmarks ?

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

See http://www.a-pdf.com/word-to-pdf/index.htm
You can create PDF from Microsoft Word files (*.doc) with bookmarks using A-PDF Word to PDF.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried that one.

@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:
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 'heading' styles,
there has to be some way to automatically assign a heading style (h1,h2,h3..) to any any keyword of your interest and then insert a toc to create links.
