generating ToC for existing PDF?

generating ToC for existing PDF?

[Adam Spiers]

Hi all,

I have an existing PDF, along with a text file table of contents.  Is
it possible to use org to generate a new PDF which includes a ToC at
the beginning, where each item in the ToC is hyperlinked to its
corresponding page in the original PDF?  I see that org understands
hyperlinks like:

  docview:papers/last.pdf::NNN

but I'm not sure if exporting to PDF would preserve those hyperlinks,
and even if so, when merging the generated ToC with the original PDF,
there would need to be a way to adjust them to point within the new
merged file.

Thanks,
Adam
