Create a table of contents

Export bookmarks

  1. Open your PDF.
  2. Go to Window > Panels > Bookmarks.
  3. From the Bookmarks panel toolbar, select Bookmarks > Export Bookmarks.
  4. In the Export Bookmarks dialog, make sure Open File After Creation is selected.
  5. Select Save.

A new PDF will open automatically with a hyperlinked list of bookmarks from your original file.

Insert pages

  1. Reopen your original PDF.
  2. Go to Document > Insert > Pages from Document.
  3. In the Insert Pages dialog, select Add.
  4. Select the export (saved as Original File Name_Bookmarks.pdf), and click Open.
  5. In the Into section of the Insert Pages dialog, open the dropdown menu and select Before.
  6. Select OK.

If no bookmarks exist

If the original PDF contains searchable text, you can use AutoMark to create bookmarks automatically. You can also add bookmarks manually.

Only Bluebeam Core and Bluebeam Complete subscribers can create automatic bookmarks and page labels from PDF content.
