Just experimented, and found that even if you tell it to use
"pdfmarks" (using -om), the bookmarks are still lost, so not sure that
option will help. I could only get the bookmarks back if I exported
the bookmarks and re-imported them:

java -jar jpdftweak.jar -i inputfile.pdf -savebookmarks bookmarks.csv
java -jar jpdftweak.jar -i inputfile.pdf -os -loadbookmarks
bookmarks.csv -o outputfile.pdf
