I have a book seperated into several PDFs. I have an index where all pdfs page numbers are listed. I want to link the numbers to the correct page number in the book PDFs. Is there any automation can be done? Please help

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, Windows

Yes, but the index information has to be stored in a way that makes it accessible to JavaScript. Is this a PDF index file? A text on a PDF page, like the index at the end of a DTF book (Dead Tree Format), a text file, xml file, or some other data format?

If it's a PDF index file you are SOL. This is not accessible from JS. Ideally, the data should be in a JavaScript Object. If the data is in some other format it will have to be converted into a JavaScript Object before it can be used in a script.
