move all bookmarks down two pages

Post by dexterdykrataigos »

So i made a PDF file and started making bookmarks for all different chapters and sub-chapters. I discovered that I had missed two pages in the middle. I don't have the paid version, so I couldn't add them after the fact. I exported all the bookmarks and added the two pages in the source and converted back to PDF. I then imported the bookmarks again, but now all the bookmarks below those two pages are two pages too high. I know I can move the markers one by one, but is there any way to move them down all at once?

Thanks for any help.

Hello, dexterdykrataigos,

There is no direct way to do this, but there are other options that might have been helpful in this situation.

Unfortunately, none of them can be done with the free version, because a DEMO stamp will be added to the resulted file.


One of the ideas is:

"....
remove the first two pages, convert all bookmarks to named dest, then add back the first two pages - this will effectively 'move' the bookmarks two pages down....

..."




Regards.

Copy your file. In that file add two blank pages where the missing bookmarks should be. You'll see a warning, that now you work in demo, don't warry about it. Copy bookmarks to original file - they shoud move down for 2 pages. Save the original file)
