Overview
Import Named Destinations from Text Files reads one or more tab-delimited text files and creates named destinations in the active PDF. Each line in the file should contain a destination name and a target page number.
How to use
- Open the PDF that will receive the named destinations.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Named Destinations > Import Named Destinations from Text Files.
- Select one or more tab-delimited text files in the file dialog. Multiple files can be selected at once.
- Click Open to start the import.
File format
Each line in the text file is tab-delimited with the following columns:
| Column | Content | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Destination name | Yes |
| 2 | Page number (1-based) | Yes |
| 3+ | Additional columns (ignored) | No |
Note
Lines with invalid or missing page numbers are skipped. If a destination name already exists in the PDF, the existing entry is overwritten with the new page target.
Tip
Use Export Named Destinations to Text File to create a file in the correct format, edit it in a spreadsheet, then re-import the modified version.
