  • Find a tool or tools to extract the table of contents from the generated pdf and generate a preface.pdf with the TOC witch to merge in-front of the original pdf ... With https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf I was able to generate a readable and searchable "pdf text-file" so that theoretically it was possible to find the header in the text file and via reverse search and the added comments find out on wich page it is etc. etc...
