💖 pdf-extract-outline(1) — aka the bookmark grabber 💖

okay bestie, so this little cutie lives in the fntsample family (you know, the manual named fntsample), and she has ONE job: pulling outlines — which is just the fancy word for bookmarks</> — out of your PDFs. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pdf-extract-outline — extract outlines (aka bookmarks) from PDF files 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pdf-extract-outline input.pdf outlines.txt

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: pdf-extract-outline reads the input file you hand it as the first argument, and then it extracts the outlines into the file you name as the second argument. that's it, that's the whole plot.

and the glow-up? the output format is compatible with the one accepted by pdfoutline. so you can literally feed what she spits out straight into pdfoutline and it just works. iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • none. pdf-extract-outline accepts no options. zero. nada. she doesn't take flags, she doesn't take vibes-check negotiations, she just takes your two arguments and slays. 😭

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

✨ AUTHOR ✨

pdf-extract-outline was authored by Ievgenii Meshcheriakov <eugen@debian.org> 💜

she's part of fntsample and can be downloaded from:

go give it a star, bestie, it's the least we can do 🌈⭐

lowkey this page is version 5.4 and it was dated 2024-04-01 — that's the source/version energy, and we're honouring it. 💖

mwah, hope your bookmarks are always organised. periodt. 👑✨
