Re: add bookmarks to existing pdf?

[Dave Thayer <X0411622.lists.dmthayer@spamgourmet.com>]

For the purpose of adding bookmarks (and other pdf features such as forms
fields) to pdf files one approach might be to use 'PDFMark' code. 

PDFMarks are little snippets of postscript which, when inserted into the ps
file, instruct the ps -> pdf distiller to generate the bookmark or other PDF
feature. A typical mode of using PDFMarks would be to save them as eps files
and include them in your document. 

Google 'PDFMark' for a ton of good references.

Lacking the original document they can be inserted into the ps code
directly, a perl script can be used to automate things. If all you have is a
pdf file you might try using gs or xpdf to generate ps, but this might get
pretty ugly.
