Adding outline or bookmarks to merge-job

["Tory S. Anderson" <we...@toryanderson.com>]

I'm working on a Clojure web app with the following function flow:

User uploaded docx -> mongodb -> docx4j converts each to PDF -> 
PDFBox Merger Utility merges all to a single PDF.

So far so good; everything is working. However, I need to be able 
to add bookmarks (outline nodes) to the produced PDF, preferably 
as I'm merging them. I'm not sure how best to do this, and whether 
the approach should be

1. Add outline to the individual PDFs BEFORE the merge (do 
outlines survive merges?)
2. Somehow add contents at the correct places during/after the 
merge.

Any suggestions would be useful, as I'm new to PDFBox.

Both is possible. Yes, they do survive merge. Not sure about 1.8.10, but 
sure about 2.0.

Re how create bookmarks, look at the examples for CreateBookmarks.java.
