Can I copy bookmarks to another pdf file ???

How could I copy my bookmarks I have created in a large pdf to another pdf file? I that possible?
I hope somebody knows.

Thank you for your help,

Could you provide more information? Is the other file completely different? Or is it just an updated version of the original? If the latter, then you can open the original and use Replace Pages (under Document menu, then Pages) and you're bookmarks will remain linking to the same places. You might have to reset some of the destinations if the piece of text has moved, for example, but it could still save you a lot of time.

Alternatively, if the former, you could get the new file and then do an Insert Pages (again, under Document menu, then Pages), inserting the original. This will copy over the bookmarks as well. You could then delete the new pages (again, under Document menu, then Pages) and have the bookmarks remain. You would still need to go through them all setting the destinations, but if you keyed in the Bookmarks in the first place, this might save some time.

If neither of these options is relevant, could you post some more information?

This works great. Thank you very much. Saved me loads of time !!

One more question, I will post a new one here, just in case you don't know.

How can I change those icons that appear at the side of bookmarks? I have seen others before.

As far as I know, you can't change them. They appear differently in Acrobat (and Reader) 5, which may be what you have seen. In those it's just a plain white (or grey if selected) page icon. The new Acrobat logo ones are rather over-the-top, aren't they? It would be great if it were possible to change the icons to custom-made ones that were relevant to the document. But I don't think you can.
