Bug Description
Hello!
First and foremost, thank's for all the hard work to make Calibre a reality. I'm you biggest follower.
I'm a researcher and I have more than 10,000 books in my Calibre Library (and growing - 90% PDF format).
The one thing that would make me more productive, is having a feature that can extract the "TABLE OF CONTENTS", so I can have access to the chapters information without opening the selected file. Just a "click" away.
More like the "Look Inside" feature in Amazon Bookstore. I know Calibre has a suchlike feature, and we can see the "cover" and "metadata", but no "TABLE OF CONTENTS".
I have been adding this extra information by the "copy/paste" feature in the software. It helps very much. I also have a printed (paper/ink) "content catalog" so I can easily find the information needed in my "Calibre Library". This catalog includes the "cover" and the "TABLE OF CONTENTS" of each book.
This has been in my mind for quite a while now, so maybe this "Enhancement Proposal" will make Calibre even better.
Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge nor the economic resources to develop this "would be" feature on my own.
Thanks again for making my life not just easier, but fun!
JGR

ToCs can only be automatically extracted from PDF files if the PDf file
has an actual Outline, i.e. the "Bookmarks" panel in acrobat reader. Do
your PDFs actually have these?
