Mini PDF Outline Editor

pipx run pdf-outline-edit

A GUI program to import, edit and modify PDF outlines/Table-of-Content through a simple textual format.

The textual format of outlines is almost the same as printed books' which has been "rediscovered" multiple times.

1. Indent level = nesting level
2. Last number is page number
3. Title is the text in between

You can copy and paste existing outline from PDF books and tidy it up a bit to fuse it into the PDF file in 3 easy steps:

1. Set target PDF file **2. Write the outline
2. Press "Write to PDF" button

Extra features

Automatic tidy up button. It does the following:

1. Guess and adjust indent levels
2. Remove excessive spaces

Extra Options**

• Offset: Starting page of the page numbers. The pages before it will be roman numerals and the offset page's page label will be 1.

Alternatives

• HandyOutliner Almost identical program but written in .Net & itext and uses XML
• pdf.tocgen Over-engineered by following the disgusting "unix philo-dogshit-sophy".
