Export PDF bookmarks

Download outline / table of contents as JSON (same format as our import tool).

Why use Export PDF bookmarks?

Long PDFs depend on outlines for navigation. Exporting bookmarks to JSON lets you edit structure in scripts, spreadsheets, or custom tools, then re-import with the companion Import tool. PDFBaba’s JSON format matches its import workflow so you can round-trip changes safely. There is no signup requirement, and files are deleted after about one hour. Keep backups before destructive bookmark operations elsewhere.

Supported files & limits

One PDF with an outline. The default upload limit is 100MB per file; administrators can raise or lower this via server configuration. You download JSON representing bookmarks for editing elsewhere.

Privacy & data retention

PDFBaba is built for quick tasks: your uploads and generated downloads are kept only long enough to process your request and are automatically deleted after about one hour. We do not require signup for these tools, and we do not use your documents to train AI models. For full details on cookies, analytics, and legal terms, read our Privacy Policy.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

For Export PDF bookmarks, use an unlocked PDF when possible. If the file asks for a password in a reader, unlock it with our Unlock PDF tool first, then run Export PDF bookmarks on the decrypted file.
