Could this be better? Quite possibly. This is just the way I do it.</p> <h2 id="some-context-just-like-recipe-websites">Some context (just like recipe websites?)</h2> <p>A document I&rsquo;ve been reading is neither OCR&rsquo;ed nor has a table of contents (ToC). This book, reaching almost 600 pages, has been particularly fastidious to navigate around. I remember how I had the same issue with a physics textbook PDF I had in 2024, and how I used <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpdfbookmarks/">JPdfBookmarks</a> to add the ToC myself. I wondered if it&rsquo;d be possible to update the PDF that was uploaded to a <em>group</em> library <em>and</em> get to keep the annotations. This short post explains how to do so.</p>
