Our Bookmarks tool already auto-detects your document's heading structure and builds a real, clickable bookmark tree in the PDF outline — no manual boxing required. It's a complement to Jump Links, not a replacement: Bookmarks gives readers a sidebar tree, Jump Links make the TOC text itself clickable.
Everything you need to know about PDF jump links
Upload your PDF to PDFCourt. Go to your TOC page, draw a bounding box over a chapter entry like "Chapter 3 - Results". Scroll to the chapter page and draw a destination box. Done — that TOC entry is now clickable. Repeat for each entry.
About 20-30 seconds per TOC entry. A 10-item table of contents takes ~5 minutes. A 20-item TOC takes ~10 minutes. Much faster than coding or using complex desktop software.
Yes! Click "Auto-Build TOC" in the workspace toolbar and pick the option that matches your PDF. If your PDF already has a contents page, we find it, read each entry's page number, and add real clickable links automatically. If it has no contents page at all, we detect your document's headings and generate a brand-new contents page from scratch, with links already wired up. Either way, you review the results (auto-detected links are flagged for a quick check) before finishing — no AI or OCR involved, just fast, accurate detection. Manual linking (draw a source box, navigate, draw a destination box) is still there too if you prefer full control over each link.
They solve related but different problems. Jump Links (this tool) make text or regions inside the page itself clickable — e.g. "Chapter 3" in your TOC becomes a link you click to jump to page 15. Our Bookmarks tool instead auto-detects your document's headings and section structure and builds a bookmark tree in the PDF outline/sidebar — the panel readers open to navigate, without any in-page links. Bookmarks does not make TOC text clickable; it creates reader-sidebar navigation, and it works today. Use Bookmarks for quick sidebar navigation, and Jump Links when you want the TOC text itself to be clickable.
No. Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $239/year. PDFCourt provides the same clickable TOC capability for free, with a simpler visual interface. Works in your browser — no installation.
Yes. The links follow the PDF specification standard and work in Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Apple Preview, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile PDF apps. Universal compatibility on every device.
Yes! You can create bidirectional links. Draw a box over "Back to Contents" at the end of a chapter and link it back to the TOC page. Readers can navigate both directions.
Any long document: textbooks, training manuals, annual reports, research papers, legal briefs, user guides, ebooks, company policies, technical documentation. If it has a TOC, it should be clickable.
