I have a large PDF that has bookmarks set up. So far I have not figured out how to access.

 

Thanks

It doesn't appear there's a way to read PDF bookmarks in FME.

Hi all

I know this thread is from 2022, but has there been any recent update to the pdf reader that may allow this functionality? When checked with 2025.1, it still seems bookmark format items cannot be exposed in the reader. There may be alternatives using javascript as suggested at https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/export-bookmarks-from-pdf/td-p/13415024
