Reset / Manage Bookmarks in pdf
Hello,
I consistently deal with large pdfd that are put together from a avariety of sources; we also use bookmarks quite a lot. However, many time the bookmarks are set for different views, page width, whole page or some custom views etc..
Is there a script or add-in that can go through a pdf, and "reset" all bookmarks to be consistent? (ie whole page).
Thank you Paul

Thanks!
I am not sure how to access settings /code/ expressions they discuss,
any suggestions?
specifically
replacing the regular expression
/FitR [0-9]* [0-9]* [0-9]* [0-9]*]
with the string
/XYZ 0 792 1.0]
successfully turned all "Actual Size" bookmarks into "Zoom 100%" bookmarks. Of course you'll end up with all bookmarks at position x=0,y=792 on their respective page. If you want bookmarks to not modify zoom, use "zoom 0", i.e. replace with
/XYZ 0 792 0.0]

Paul, the information provided by the link only makes sense if you are actually working "in the guts" of a PDF file. If you just want to modify your bookmarks as a user, that's probably a bit over your head.
There is unfortunately nothing in Acrobat that would help you with this task. It looks like the Bookmark Manager at http://www.medxview.com/products/pdf/bm_manager.htm is no longer available (at least the current home page of MedXView at http://www.medxview.com does no longer list it).
There is always the posibility of a custom plug-in for Acrobat. It depends on how important this task is for you and if it would be worth the cost of a custom plug-in.

hmmm....
I am always willing to dive in over my head, and who doesn't like playing in guts?
Does the pdf-gut-playing require special software?
If you could direct me to something showing how to at least take the initial steps, that would be much appreciated.
