GhostScript can be used from the command line in Windows and Linux to add bookmarks to PDF files using a structured text file.

The documentation could be clearer, although this could be due to the vast range of options available.

  ### 3. A Life Saver

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** artmonkey013 F. | Illustrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Ghostscript?**

We were having ALL kinds of issues with the text in a PDF flipbook for a client. We found GhostScript through a forum suggestion and it is not getting the recognition it deserves. It eliminated our text issue and adds another level of compatibility to all our PDF designs now.

**What do you dislike about Ghostscript?**

Just that it took a long time to find a solution like Ghostscript. More people need to know about this!

**What problems is Ghostscript solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Text compatibility/quality issues between PDFs and PDF plug-in programs (like flipbuilder) who have limited settings for PDF quality
