Just shipped an update to my interactive Table of Contents Generator

I added the merge pdfs and generate a table of contents from the merged document

A few days ago, I shared a small tool, tableofcontentsgenerator.com, I built that:

• takes a PDF
• automatically generates an interactive table of contents
• lets users download the updated document with the interactive TOC attached

The idea was simple: large PDFs are painful to navigate, and creating bookmarks manually takes forever, so there should be a way to automate this process.

I would like to thank everyone who has tried it and given feedback.

One hurdle that a lot of users were experiencing was the ability to generate table of contents from multiple files that need merging.

So, today I shipped an update. Users can now merge multiple pdfs and generate the table of contents from them.

New workflow:

• Upload initial document
• In the Tools tab, add the other documents to be merged (up to 100mb)
• Merge the documents to generate the combined table of contents
• Edit the TOC if needed
• Download the merged document with the TOC attached

No more jumping between tools to merge PDFs and then create navigation.

If you work with reports, documentation or large ebooks, I'd love for you to try the tool and give your honest feedback.

Thank you.
