Kush,

   Do you want to modify existing PDF files or create new ones?

   If you want to do new ones and you know LaTeX, use pdflatex.  When you use the hyperref package, your PDF file gets a navigatable table of contents.  Also, you can use latex2html to create a web page as an alternate to your PDF.
