    Question How to make a bookmark in a djvu file?

    Hi there!! I wish somebody could give a response because I have searched everywhere and I haven't found a good answer

    And the question is that of the title of this post. What happens is that I like the djvu format (a lot!), and I'd like to export all my pdf books (I'm studying the university and I have a lot of pdf books) to djvu format.

    The problem is that I found very uncomfortable to read a djvu book (with hundreds of pages) without the help of bookmarks or index.

    I have found some djvu files with bookmarks and that's why I believe that there is a way to do this.

    I found an application called djvubookmarker on sourceforge.net , but this application only works on Windows OS (and doesn't work really good, it has some bugs) so I haven't used wine to use this application with my Ubuntu.

    Thank you in advance to everybody.

    I'll be waiting for you answer.

    Hi,

    There's a program called "djvused" that you can use.
    To install type:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install djvulibre-bin
    I admit I haven't quite managed to get a hang of it yet, if you do, please post back.

    Ok - so this is how it's done:

    After installing "djvused", you create a text file with your bookmarks in the following format, where the numbers are the page numbers you see in evince:
    Code:
    (bookmarks
    ("Title" "#1")
    ("My Chapter 1" "#5"
    ("Sub Chapter 1" "#5")
    ("Sub Chapter 2" "#15"))
    )
    Say you saved the file as "bookmarks.txt", you then run:

    Code:
    djvused file.djvu -e 'set-outline bookmarks.txt' -s
    Note that this will override any previous bookmarks.

    Hope this helped
