PDF Editor
PDF Editor
I need a PDF editor to create internal hyperlinks in a document. I purchased a huge PDF and would like to be able to link internally to keep me from having to scroll or search the relevant data when needed. This thing is massive, over 1100 pages, and it's for ttrpg so there are a lot of tables, locations, special items, etc. that I'd like to be able to link to and find quickly.
I'm okay with paying for software if it will include this feature specifically, however, I don't prefer the subscription-based services I keep seeing listed in general searches. Bonus points: no major hassle with licenses when upgrading my OS to the newest LTS, and I can also run it as a Linux app on my Chromebook.

You might actually get something out of converting it to html. Easily editable with a basic text editor, you can link to anywhere in the document, and you can view it nicely in any browser.
I'm leaning more towards this. Any suggestions on what to use to convert it to html? I've ended up going down the rabbit hole reading up on LaTeX now because of this lol
You'll probably get decent results by trying out pdf2htmlex with a command like this:
docker run -it --rm -v /path/to/pdf/folder:/pdf bwits/pdf2htmlex pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 my-pdf.pdfThanks. I'll see what I can do!
I ran it through pdf2htmlex. It extracted the text, tables, toc, etc. very nicely. Images are just black rectangles. I'll keep playing with the options to see if I can get those extracted and usable as well. So far, this has been the most usable output I've gotten. Thanks again!
