Desktopfreeglobal

A command-line toolset that extracts and generates a PDF table of contents by analyzing embedded font attributes and heading positions, intended for software-generated PDFs such as those produced by LaTeX engines. It reduces the need to add bookmarks manually in long documents and is aimed at academic authors and publishers who want navigable outlines; it is open-source on GitHub under GPL-3.0, self-hosted, and not suited to scanned PDFs.
