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
- Open a PDF that contains named destinations.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Named Destinations > Export Named Destinations to Text File.
- Choose a save location and file name for the text file.
- Click Save to export the destinations.
Output format
The exported file is tab-delimited with three columns per line:
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| 1 | Destination name |
| 2 | Page number (1-based) |
| 3 | View description (e.g. Fit, XYZ coordinates) |
Tip
The tab-delimited format can be opened directly in spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel for review and editing.
Note
If the PDF contains no named destinations, a message is displayed and no file is created. The exported file can be re-imported using Import Named Destinations from Text Files.
