The -list-bookmarks operation prints (to standard output) the bookmarks in a file. The first column gives the level of the tree at which a particular bookmark is. Then the text of the bookmark in quotes. Then the page number which the bookmark points to. Then (optionally) the word ”open” if the bookmark should have its children (at the level immediately below) visible when the file is loaded. Then the destination (see below). For example, upon executing
cpdf -list-bookmarks doc.pdf
the result might be:
0 "Part 1" 1 open 1 "Part 1A" 2 "[2 /XYZ 200 400 null]" 1 "Part 1B" 3 0 "Part 2" 4 1 "Part 2a" 5
By default, cpdf converts unicode to ASCII text, dropping characters outside the ASCII range. To prevent this, and return unicode UTF8 output, add the -utf8 option to the command. To prevent any processing, use the -raw option. See Section 1.17 for more information. A newline in a bookmark is represented as "\n".
By using -list-bookmarks-json instead, the bookmarks are formatted as a JSON array, in order, of dictionaries formatted thus:
{ "level": 0,
"text": "1 Basic Usage",
"page": 17,
"open": false,
"target":
[ { "I": 17 },
{ "N": "/XYZ" },
{ "F": 85.039 },
{ "F": 609.307 },
null ]
}
See Chapter 15 for more details of cpdf’s JSON formatting. There are two differences here: bookmark text is always UTF8, and the numbers for level and page are plain, rather than begin surrounded with { "I": }.
The destination is an extended description of where the bookmark should point to (i.e it can be more detailed than just giving the page). For example, it may point to a section heading halfway down a page. Here are the possibilities:
The bounding box is the intersection of the page’s crop box and the bounding box of the page contents. Some other kinds of destination may be produced by -list-bookmarks. They will be preserved by -add-bookmarks and may be edited as your risk.
The -remove-bookmarks operations removes all bookmarks from the file.
cpdf -remove-bookmarks in.pdf -o out.pdf
The -add-bookmarks file adds bookmarks as specified by a bookmarks file, a text file in ASCII or UTF8 encoding and in the same format as that produced by the -list-bookmarks operation. If there are any bookmarks in the input PDF already, they are discarded. For example, if the file bookmarks.txt contains the output from -list-bookmarks above, then the command
cpdf -add-bookmarks bookmarks.txt in.pdf -o out.pdf
Bookmarks in JSON format (see above) may be added with -add-bookmarks-json:
cpdf -add-bookmarks-json bookmarks.json in.pdf -o out.pdf
Remember that strings in JSON bookmark files are in UTF8.
As an alternative to extracting a bookmark file and manipulating the open-status of bookmarks, mass manipulation may be achieved by the following operation:
cpdf -bookmarks-open-to-level <level> in.pdf -o out.pdf
A level of 0 will close all bookmarks, level 1 will open just the top level, closing all others etc. To open all of them, pick a sufficiently large level.
Cpdf can automatically generate a table of contents from existing bookmarks, adding it to the beginning of the document.
cpdf -table-of-contents in.pdf -o out.pdf
The page(s) added will have the same dimensions, media and crop boxes as the first page of the original file. The default title is “Table of Contents”, though this may be changed:
cpdf -table-of-contents -toc-title "Contents" in.pdf -o out.pdf
An empty title removes the title. The sequence \n may be used to split the title into lines. The default font is 12pt Times Roman (and 24pt for the title). The base font and size may be changed with -font and -font-size (see chapter 8 for full details):
cpdf -table-of-contents -font "Courier-Bold" -font-size 8 in.pdf -o out.pdf
By default, an entry for the new table of contents will be added to the document’s bookmarks. To suppress this behaviour, add -toc-no-bookmark:
cpdf -table-of-contents -toc-no-bookmark in.pdf -o out.pdf
