Bulk renaming of bookmarks

[diddi8]

Hello Community,
In xchange editor, we generate our bookmarks when merging various PDF files.
Now we would like to remove the first 4 characters from all bookmarks, as these are actually only used as a sorting criterion when naming the PDF files.
Is there a way to do this as a bulk change? Currently, we change each bookmark manually—a tedious task...

Thank you for your support.

Hello, diddi8

On the bookmarks tab, we offer a "find and replace" function for renaming bookmarks in bulk. To replace the first few characters of all bookmarks you will likely want to enable the regex mode, and work from there to do so:

I am afraid that I am not fluent in regex myself, so I cannot offer a string to accomplish this personally. Best of luck!

Kind regards,

Use the following regex to delete the first four characters

Code: Select all

^.{4}
