Description

The goal of this program is to make easier and faster the process of creating bookmarks for DjVu and PDF documents.

The program has next features:

1. Create bookmarks from text TOC (table of contents).
2. Integration with popular document readers (see below in the section "Integration")
3. Import bookmarks from STDU Viewer.
4. Modify existing bookmarks in DjVu and PDF documents.
5. Сreate bookmark trees manually.
6. Restructuring bookmarks, shifting page numbers.
7. Embed bookmarks into DjVu or PDF documents.

Details

The program has simple interface and special description does not need. Separately, only stands to explain the process to create bookmarks from text table of contents.

If the document has a text table of contents (TOC), you can copy and save the text contents into a separate text file, and then tell the program the file as a bookmark source.

This program does not provide an OCR or text editor features. If the document was scanned and does not contain textual information, you must first recognize the contents by using a specialized OCR application.

Usually, a table of contents (TOC) consists of the following elements:

Indents Numeric or symbolic index Header text Placeholders Page number

There are many various alternatives of representation of tables of contents. Fortunately, all this detail is not no need. To build a bookmark tree, you need to follow some rules:

1. To determine the level of nesting of bookmarks, it is better to rely on indents, rather than numeric indexes, as some specific rules for determining the level of heading in an index does not exist.
2. Indents are specified using a tab key (TAB).
3. Placeholders can be any characters except numbers and alphabet characters (spaces, tabs, dots, and underscores. Etc.). The number of placeholders is not important.
4. Each headline should be placed in one line. Multiline headers are not supported.

Integration. (New in version 1.1.6.0. Currently for Windows only)

Examples of bookmark files and documents are in the Samples folder of the program.
