Is there an application for linux that lets the user add a custom table of contents
to a PDF? It would already be great if it was possible to add shortcut links to
pages.

So, is there anything capable of doing that?


Thanks in advance,

Description: a WYSIWYG pseudo PostScript editor
flpsed is a WYSIWYG pseudo PostScript editor. "Pseudo", because you can't
remove or modify existing elements of a document. But flpsed lets you add
arbitrary text lines to existing PostScript 1 documents. Added lines can
later be reedited with flpsed. Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf one can
convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them. flpsed is
useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc.

If you can, it is best to produce the original pdf from an application
that can make the table of contents and links itself, such as pdfLaTeX
or Open Office.

Unfortunately that's not the case. When I write my docs I make a point in adding a
TOC with shortcuts to the pages but it would be great if it was possible to add
that to PDFs I didn't created.
