How can I add a Table of Contents (TOC) to an existing PDF?

I have an existing PDF (scanned notes from a class). I'd like to improve this basic scan as much as possible. I do not think that any OCR is good enough to recognize handwriting, so I cannot make it searchable. But I would like to manually modify it by adding a TOC in the beginning that links to parts of the document.

One way could be to split the PDF into separate documents, then have:

\section{Part One}
\inculde\include{part1.pdf}
\section{Part Two}
\include{part2.pdf}

But I am wondering if there is a way to do this without splitting it up.
