Yes.  Typically there is one plot per page and all pages are entered
into a hierarchical bookmark tree to ease navigation.

We already do this, piping the postscript output into GhostScript and
then feeding the bookmark information inbetween the pages so that the
metadata in the PDF gets built correctly.  However pdfcairo is much
faster, so I'm looking for a way to have cairo build the bookmark tree.

Alternatively, a program that mixes the PDF produced by pdfcairo with
the bookmark information would work.  I've tried pdfjam, but it's even
slower than our current solution.
