Overview
Export Bookmarks to HTML writes the bookmark tree of the active PDF to a styled HTML file that opens in any browser. The PDF itself is not changed.
How to use
- Open a PDF that contains bookmarks.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Bookmarks > Views & Reports > Export Bookmarks to HTML.
- In the Save dialog, choose a file name and location for the
.htmlfile. - Click Save to export.
Output format
The file is a complete HTML document with a two-column table — Title and Destination — and a small embedded stylesheet, so it needs no other files to display. Bookmark depth is shown by indenting the Title cell, twenty pixels per level.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The full text of the bookmark title, escaped so that characters such as
& and < survive intact. |
| Destination | For page destinations the page number is written as Page N. For URI
actions the URL is written, for Launch actions the file path. Anything else is
written as Action: <type>, and a bookmark with no usable action
as Action: Unknown. |
Note
Because the indent is visual rather than structural, the exported HTML is meant for reading and sharing rather than for re-import. Every bookmark is exported regardless of level.
