I have a set of PDF documents which would benefit greatly if they had a ToC/bookmarks list that 
enabled the reader to jump to specific sections of the document.  So, is there any way to add a 
ToC/list of bookmarks to an existing PDF document?


Thanks in advance,
Rui Maciel

Thanks for the tip, Lutrin.  Your suggestion looks promissing.

Ghostscript can also do that for you. I recently used Ghostscript v.
8.71 (from http://www.ghostscript.com/releases/) to achieve s.th. like
this.

If you aren't afraid of a Ghostcript commandline, try it. This command
adds 4 bookmarks to an input.pdf (requires at least 4 pages) and
creates the output.pdf:

gswin32c.exe ^
 -o out.pdf ^
 -sDEVICE=3Dpdfwrite ^
 -c "[/Page 1 /View [/XYZ null null null] /Title (Bookmark text No.
1) /OUT pdfmark" ^
 -c "[/Page 2 /View [/XYZ null null null] /Title (Something else N.
2) /OUT pdfmark" ^
 -c "[/Page 3 /View [/XYZ null null null] /Title (This is the
Number3) /OUT pdfmark" ^
 -c "[/Page 4 /View [/XYZ null null null] /Title (...and now the
last) /OUT pdfmark" ^
 -f c:\path\to\input.pdf
