Export Named Destinations to Text File

Overview

Export Named Destinations to Text File saves all named destinations from the active PDF into a tab-delimited text file. Each line contains the destination name, page number, and view description.

How to use

  1. Open a PDF that contains named destinations.
  2. Go to Plug-Ins > Named Destinations > Export Named Destinations to Text File.
  3. Choose a save location and file name for the text file.
  4. Click Save to export the destinations.

Output format

The exported file is tab-delimited with three columns per line:

ColumnContent
1 Destination name
2 Page number (1-based)

Tip

The tab-delimited format can be opened directly in spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel for review and editing.
