Adobe pdf print bookmarks

Here is something you can try:

With your file open, and assuming it has all the bookmarks setup:

Simply export to HTML (File > Export > HTML > I picked HTML 3.2). That should create an HTML file.

Open the new HTML file and the first thing you should see is a list of all the bookmarks.

This worked for me (I have Adobe 9). Let me know if it works for you.

P.S. After copying the list, I pasted in Word and changed the bullets to numbers by right clicking one of the bullets and selecting Numbering!

I don't know of a way to print bookmarks. You could make a screen capture.

You can expand all bookmarks by holding down the Option/Alt key and clicking one of the disclosure triangles.

I have a screen capture utility (FastStone) and it does scrolling windows, but in this case it's only capturing a part of it all. Thanks for the Alt Click suggestion.

What is a disclosure triangle?

I wish Acrobat had this functionality built in. I don't need much by way of printouts, but it is nice to have a physical copy of the index and table of contents, which is essentially what bookmarks are.

Here is more stuff you can do with the screenshot idea to get more results:

Use a screenshot program rather than your computer's built-in functionality so you can accurately capture the bookmarks text only as a list.

Then if you cannot get it all with one screen capture take additional captures until you get them all.

Next Place these screen captures as embedded in Photoshop one at a time so you can align them to look like a single page table of contents.

Next Save As a Photoshop.pdf

Now open Acrobat and select combine files.

Select your new TOC pdf as the first file.

Then select your main pdf as the second file.

Then Combine the files.

The result will have the TOC as the first page in a new pdf file that now has the whole file in one document.

This way you could just print the TOC as 1 page from the entire document.

You could probably add numbering to the new TOC page as well but I have not tried this yet.
