This free consulting project uses Aspose.PDF to enable you to create TOC in exisiting PDF document by extracting first line/phrase of each page. It also showcases a functionality to extract lengthy content pages and create a separate PDF document from them. For example, if a Chapter has title "Chapter 1" and it expands over more than one page of the PDF, this utility will extract all pages containing "Chapter 1" title and create a new PDF file from them.
Below is the main screen of the application which is annotated as well to describe functionality of each control:
