I want to transfer bookmarks from a series of uncompressed
pdf
files to their compressed copies (these copies do not have the original bookmarks).
I know how to do this one by one using pdftk
. First I have to extract the bookmarks:
`pdftk file.pdf dump_data output file.txt
`
and then I have to transfer them to the compressed copy:
`pdftk file_mrc.pdf update_info file.txt output file_mrc_updated.pdf
`
(my compressed pdf
files have that mrc suffix).
I have hundreds of pdf
files in this situation, with the correspondent compressed pdf
copy, so I want to automatize the procedure.
I found a way to extract the bookmarks from all the files with find
, but I don't know how to use this command for dumping the bookmarks on the copies:
`find . -type f ! -name "*mrc*" -exec pdftk '{}' dump_data output {}.txt ';'
`
