Edit the outline

I am wondering if there is a way to edit the outline in zotero. The problem may from the source of PDF itself. But it will be great to be able to correct them in zotero directly.
Thank you for considering it!

Not currently possible, not, see e.g. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95515/feature-request-create-bookmarks-in-the-integrated-pdf-viewer

Thank you for the quick reply. I am glad, I am not the only one. And people have such needs. Our files are mostly PDF, or maybe all PDF. What is the technique difficulty? Patent legal issues? We are trying to follow author's outline which is a respectful way. The wrong outline which somehow generate in a wrong way which should not appear at first place. I hope we can put some effort to sort things out. It can be slow but not impossible...

It's just not core functionality for Zotero to, e.g., fix broken PDFs, so there are other dev priorities, I'd assume. There are plenty of other tools that let you do this.
