Generating a PDF with clickable table of contents...

I have a workflow that kicks out a PDF.

I want my PDF to have a clickable Table of Contents built in (attached article) that would allow easy navigation in said document.

Is it possible in Alteryx to assign bookmarks based on headers that would allow me to create a clickable table of contents in my PDF?

What I want is my user to click on picture/header A in the PDF and then they are hyperlinked to whatever the assigned bookmark is for that link within the document.

Is this possible or are there alternative solutions I am not realizing o_O

Thanks board!

I use a plug-in for Acrobat Pro (PC version) called Autobookmark by Evermap. Autobookmark allows you to use regex to identify text patterns to create multiple bookmark levels. It also includes tools to edit, clean, arrange, import, and export bookmarks. It's the only reason I use Acrobat Pro on my PC (that and Alteryx).

Another option might be to: 1) output each section from Alteryx as its own PDF file; 2) use Alteryx to perform a batch rename to make the filename the desired bookmark name, and finally 3) create a PDF that makes the filename of each file a bookmark. This works with AutoBookmark. It works on a Mac. It might work with vanilla Adobe.

I forgot to add. AutoBookmark will create a linked Table of Contents page using your bookmarks.
