I am currently working on pdf projects (dotnet/c#[Itextsharp pdf]), I want to export and import bookmarks from one pdf to another pdf (both pdf are having same content, only difference are with bookmark/without bookmark and one is normal pdf and another linked pdf). Exporting bookmarks to xml is working fine but I don`t have the idea of importing exported bookmark(xml) to another pdf. Can any body suggest solution.

What I have tried:

Here I am attaching my code.

C#

string inputpdf = "D:\\chapter1.pdf"; string outputbookmark="D:\\chapter1Bookmark.xml";
        PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(inputpdf);
        IList<dictionary><string,>> bookmarks = SimpleBookmark.GetBookmark(reader);
        using (StreamWriter Sw = new StreamWriter(outputbookmark))
        {
            SimpleBookmark.ExportToXML(bookmarks, Sw,"ISO8859-1", true);

        }
        reader.Close();

How to import the exported bookmark to another pdf? This shows we can export to xml but in which way we can import this xml?

It shows how to add bookmarks to PDF. It says nothing about import/export. Now, you say "import bookmarks from XML to existing PDF". It means that bookmarks are added to PDF.

I have two pdf, one pdf is bookmarked(1) another one is not having bookmarks(2). I have success on exporting bookmarks from one pdf(1) to xml file and I am struggling in the import section from exported xml to another pdf(2). I am searching/looking that solution only, I hope now my requirement is clear to you.
