About Navi

Navi was created by a litigation lawyer who spent too many hours manually adding bookmarks and hyperlinks to court filings. In Ontario, the Rules of Civil Procedure expect PDF Motion Records to include bookmarks for every tab and hyperlinks from the table of contents — but the tools available to produce them ranged from tedious to non-existent.

Most lawyers either did the work by hand in Adobe Acrobat — clicking, naming, linking, one bookmark at a time — or they skipped it entirely and hoped the judge wouldn't mind. Neither option was acceptable.

The process was slow, error-prone, and mind-numbingly repetitive. A single Motion Record could take 30 to 60 minutes of manual bookmark work, and a mistake anywhere meant starting over or submitting something sloppy.

Navi exists to eliminate that friction.

Built for Ontario litigation

Navi is designed specifically for Ontario litigation workflows. Every design decision — from how tabs are detected to how the table of contents is parsed — reflects how lawyers actually prepare Motion Records in this jurisdiction. We don't try to be a general-purpose PDF editor. We do one thing, and we do it well: turn a raw, assembled PDF into a properly bookmarked and hyperlinked court filing in minutes instead of hours.

What's next

We're actively building support for Application Records, Books of Authorities, and additional jurisdictions beyond Ontario. If you have feedback or want to request a feature, reach out at support@pdfnavigate.com — we read every message.
