Use 1-based PDF page positions; nested entries are not created.Frequently asked questions
The details, when you need them.
Can I create nested bookmarks?
This version creates a flat list. Existing nested outlines can be exported separately.
Does removing bookmarks remove pages?
No. It removes the document navigation outline.
Build a simple navigation list
Use page positions rather than numbers printed inside the document. An entry such as 3 | Results points to the third PDF page. Titles can describe chapters, appendices or key forms. Replacement creates a flat outline and removes the existing bookmark structure; it does not merge with nested bookmarks.
Bookmarks and a contents page differ
Bookmarks appear in a reader’s navigation panel. They do not add a printed table of contents to the document. Reader support varies, so open the saved file in a PDF viewer that exposes outlines. Export existing bookmarks first if you may need their labels or hierarchy later.
Check the saved result
Open a viewer with a bookmark panel and click every destination. Check that printed numbering was not mistaken for file position.
Replacement discards existing nested bookmarks
Creates a flat navigation outline. It does not add a printed contents page or preserve an existing nested structure.
A bookmark opens the wrong section
The number was a printed label rather than the file position. Inspect PDF positions and replace the entries with corrected destinations.
