Dear PDF-XChange support team,
it would be very helpful to have an action in PDF-Tools that removes all bookmarks from a PDF file. I sometimes have large amounts of PDFs that were created from individual files (for example, by combining scanned TIFFs into a PDF) and that contain bookmarks for each file they were created from. This often happens in PDFs that were generated in the judicial service - it appears some MF devices automatically add them. These bookmarks are often meaningless, so they should be removed.
I frequently use the auto-generate and the search/replace actions for bookmarks, but have been unable to automatically remove all bookmarks using the currently available actions.
I would be glad if you could consider adding this feature.
Thank you and best regards,
Markus Stamm

Re: Feature suggestion: Remove all bookmarks from PDF
Actually, I guess, there already is such a tool.
Could you try the "Optimize PDF" tool and see, if it does, what you like:
Open the "Optimize PDF" tool, open the "Optimize Document" step, set "Discard Objects -> Discard bookmarks" to enabled.

Yes, that's just it! If I leave the other optimisation options deactivated, then only the bookmarks are removed. Thank you for the hint!
