You might be referring to "Compose" by Ambia
(http://www.ambia.com). "Compose" is a set of plugins to Adobe
Exchange, including the task you mentioned above, creating a
table of contents from bookmarks, linking a TOC or Index to the
actual pages in the PDF (including external PDFs), etc.
I found that the automatic bookmarks didn't work too well with my
documents because my section numbers were in one style and
section names in another style, but I have found some of the other
plugins useful.
