There's nothing like that. You'd make your table of contents as part of the original document creation (e.g. in Word or InDesign) and convert it all at once.

Most of the time you create your TOC in the source. MS Word and InDesign have automatic Table of Contents editors that key off of your styles. If you do not have access to the source document, you can still create bookmarks. You have two options. First is "Create Bookmarks from structure." This only works if your document was exported with tags/styles and not simply "print to PDF." You can check this by clicking the bookmarks submenu and choosing "New Bookmarks from Structure," Then look to see if any structural elements appear (see second image below- Structure Elements). If nothing appears, there is still one other option. You can manually add the bookmarks. It isn't quite that hard. The time it will take depending on the size of your document though. (for this option skip past these two images below.
Manually setting Bookmarks
Although this is not automatic or document-wide, you simply highlight the text you would like to be the bookmark and hit the "New Bookmark" symbol (blue symbol in the image below). This will create a bookmark entry. In the bookmarks window you can drag these around if you like so that you can have an outline structure where the Chapter 1 bookmark might have sub-bookmarks as well.
Hope that helps!

If your file has a bookmarks structure you could use this (paid-for) I've developed to convert it into clickable TOC pages: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/03/acrobat-create-toc-from-bookmarks.html
