hi,
what about a support for last PDFtk v1.45 that manage PDF Bookmarks?

http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-version-history/

To modify only the Bookmarks, should be a simple:
1) $ pdftk filename.pdf dump_data | grep Bookmark > bookmark.txt
2) add/edit metadata/bookmark GUI
3) $ pdftk filename.pdf update_info bookmark.txt output filename.pdf

thank you in advance,
Valerio

    Yes, what about it? The backend is not an issue, and there's good
    arguments for and against PDFtk or other backends (xournal already uses
    poppler and its own PDF parser, I don't think we'll need a third one).
    The issue is the frontend and what exactly the user interface should be
    -- what do you want to be able to do, and how should it work from the
    user interface perspective? This would be more useful than telling us
    which version of PDFtk you think we should use.

    In any case, I almost surely won't have time to work on this in the near
    future, but having a well-defined idea of how the feature would work
    could inspire someone to write a patch for xournal, or Andreas to do
    this in xournal++.

    yes, sorry, I wrote to the wrong app bug tracking.

    BTW I'm looking for PDF editing of bookmarks added in Acrobat reader 11.
    Can be useful the possibility to add and edit existing PDF bookmarks.
