No table of contents when IBA exported to iPad

When I export an iba book to iPad there is no table of contents or it is spread out with one chapter head per page?

Hello GWBARN,
Are you able to provide any screen shots of your IBA file so I see what is happening.
I include two screen grabs here.
When you highlight a chapter and then select the Table of Contents section above the Chapters you will see it will only display the Table of Contents for that chapter selected.
Every section in that chapter will be added automatically to your table of content (TOC).
So if you don't have any sections within your chapter and are adding pages you may not see and items then in your TOC.
I hope this helps a little, get back in touch to see what we can help with.
Regards,
Nigel

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting to PDF?

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting in PDF? I can seee the TOC in iBooks Author but when I want to see what it looks like in a regular PDF, the TOC does not show up.

Strange question you ask here. Not sure why that is relevant to "why" IBA won't publish a table of contents in a PDF.
But since eyou asked, it's simple, I want to author some books in IBA and also see what they look like - completed - in PDF. Again, any suggestions as to a work around so I don't have to cut and paste back into Pages?

Need to Export a hypertext index list or Table of Content when saving as pdf

I have a catalog that is being converted from print to web and will be exported as a pdf and then converted to a flip book using a flash template. The flash template does have this capability and pdf files can and do import table of content text for navigating the pdf document. What I need to do is to take the Table of Contents list from the catalog (which I have tagged with hyperlinks) and have it appear in the pdf as a text-based table of contents with hyperlinks. I saw one post discussing "InDesign's index feature" but don't see that anywhere in my app. I am using CS3 currently. (been told to stay away from 4 til bugs are worked out of .ai and dreamweaver).

You've stayed away from CS4 so long that CS5 will be shipping in the few weeks.
As for your question, I'm not really sure what you're asking. Who's doing this converting for you?

Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents. I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly. When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked. When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere. The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC. (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it). The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works. I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions. It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist. It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
Here's what I've tried:
* restarting InDesign
* restarting my machine
* deleting the TOC and regenerating it
* generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
* moving the TOC to its own document
* probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions. This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009. Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4 By (c_goates)
So here's hoping there is some new information. I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually. Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

Table of Contents will not export to PDF

CS3: I have an InDesign Book with 10 documents in it. The first document is the Table of Contents which was created using ID's TOC feature.
When I go to export that document to PDF, it acts like it's working, but the PDF is not made. There is no trace of a PDF in the folder.
If I delete the Table of Contents text the file will make a PDF.
If I try to export the entire book, the whole process just crashes.
I tried exporting the doc to .inx (which I was able to do) and make the PDF and the same thing happens.
Of course, this is a 300 page book and I'm on a deadline...
The book also has bookmarks and hyperlinks throughout -- not sure if that would cause a problem
Thanks for any thoughts! Jodi

Table of Contents in IBA

I am using iBooks Author using a previously created iBooks Template I have created. In my new book I have three chapters each with a different name, typed into the top heading of each chapter page.
When I go to the Table of Contents, I get the list of sections and page numbers all OK, but no Chapter Title OR the chapter title is the same for all three chapters (from the previous iBook). If I add a field on the first chapter page the title I use is repeated 3 times in the TOC.
Hard to explain but very frustrating and holding me up. Help!

Not all templates provide the same type of TOC.
Which template are you using?
Are you looking to have your book work in landscape, portrait or both?
You may want to experiment with other templates to see if you can find one that better suits your needs. As well, confirm your workflow with the video on using iBA in iTunes Connect.

Table of Contents in PDF Export

I've generated a Table of Contents in iWork '09. When I export this to a PDF using the Best Quality, it doesn't contain a table of contents. I think this would be a very useful option, since I use iWork to create technical documents.

There are normally three ways to create a TOC (Table of Contents). Which did you try to use?
1) Bookmarks: Most applications and non-graphic only devices will interpret a list of bookmarks as a TOC if exported properly as part of the PDF file. Unfortunately, Pages does not appear to export this data as part of the file export or does so in such a way that the bookmarks are not recognized by other applications/devices including Apple's own Preview. If this is what you are trying to do, you would need to use a secondary application to re-bookmark your content. (NOTE: Don't use Preview for this as its bookmarks are also not recognized by other applications/device and only work when using Preview as the reader.)
2) Pages "Insert TOC" Option: This option should produce a a working TOC that will work on non-graphic only devices and/or applications that allow touch, stylus, cursor movement, etc to highlight/activate internal/external links. This form of active annotation has the advantage of being able to update and display page references automatically as you create the document. If this is what you tried to do and it didn't work, the most frequent problem is a failure on the part of the user to tag the text on the page you want included in the TOC with one of the "header" tags (i.e., h1 thru h6). Properly tagging your text will allow the selected text to be automatically added to your TOC along with the page number on which the text is tagged if desired. Further, tagging the text allows you to redefine the style of that tag at any time you wish and apply the change to all other text similarly tagged.
3) Manual Links: The third option is highlight selected text in your document and add it manually to your bookmark list. Then you would select the text (either on a manually created TOC page or anywhere else in your document) and link it manually to one of your bookmark entries. As you can see, this process can be much more time consuming but should work under the same conditions mentioned above regarding the auto-generated TOC. This option does not require tagging of the content nor does it prohibit it.

How to update a table of contents when the feature "update table of contents" is unavailable?

Hello folks,
I've been struggling all morning with this issue and am completely desperate.
First, some info:
- I am making a spanish versions of an english documents: everything in the original doc was then edited, including TOCs. What I got at first, was a first spanish document already filled with spanish content.
- I was not the primary creative of the document I'm workin on and am unable to get in touch with whoever that can be.
- My document is a 200 pages text only document, with 12 chapters and, at the beginning of each chapter, a specific TOC for that very chapter.
- Inside each chapter, there are only Sections and Subsections, no other style. Those are the two levels in the TOCs.
- There is also a General TOC at the beginning of the document: that one only shows the Chapter names and the page number where to locate them.
My problem:
- Somewhere along the way, from one doc to another, the TOCs stopped to update the page numbers automatically.
- Now I have sections and subsections that are shown in one page (for instance 204) but they actually are on page 135.
- When I try to update the TOCs, I stand on the TOC itself as I was told in many tutorials, but the "update table of contents" feature is unavailable, even in the main TOC at the very beginning of the doc.
It is like if I wasn't standing in the actual TOC, but there is no actual TOC anywhere that I could refer to.
What can I do? I am changing the wrong page numbers manually but, of course, that is not ideal... and it may become more and more tricky while I keep producing new documents each based on the previous one.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Warm regard from sunny Paris, France!
Sasha

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

There is not a Table of Contents page layout.

Getting Rid of Pictures in Table of Contents

I presently have an Indesign Book File with around 50 or so chapters. Each of these chapters has a heading style that I've created and told the TOC to generate from. These chapters also have screenshots (pictures) that keep showing up in the Table of Contents when I generate it. When I try to create a Table of Contents I get something like this, and I obviously don't want these pictures in the TOC. Does anyone know why this is happening?

That's one approach, not necessarily the best, though, as it may do bad things to the layout.
You can also select and delete them manually from the TOC, or create non-printing text containing just the part you want, with a different, unique paragraph style and put them on the pages wher the real headings appear, then build the TOC from those, instead.

Table of Contents : does it work with RTF render ?

Hello,
I have a problem with the table of contents when I render in RTF :
The link in the table of contents point all to the first page and the page number is always "0".
But with the same RTF template, when I render in PDF, the table of contents is good and all the links point to the good page.
Do you know how to resolve the problem ?
Can you suggest a manner of bypassing the problem ?
I absolutely need the RTF render, because I need to edit manually then (move parts, etc.).
my table of contents in the RTF render renders like this :
1     Informations sur le rapport     0
1.1     Rédaction du document     0
1.2     Diffusion du document     0
2     Contexte de l'intervention     0
2.1     Application 0
2.1.1     Description     0
2.1.2     Architecture     0
Thank you in advance for your help.

I think you need to follow the steps very carefully.

I can't change the image at the top of Table of Contents (portrait mode)

I can't seem to change the image at the top of the table of contents, when viewed in portrait mode. It remains the planet place holder. Can anyone tell me where to find where to drag and drop a more suitable image?
Thank you.

Sorry, but I don't. Have never used a TV as a monitor. My suggestion was just a thought. Perhaps someone else will have a workable solution.
If the menubar is visible then it may be some adjustment that's needed perhaps on the TV itself which has it's own zoom. If it's set to an incorrect screen mode then it may cut off portions of the display - just a guess. Try switching the display mode on the TV to see if that resolves the problem.
As for the mini itself I'd set it to a resolution mode that most closely corresponds to what the TV can display. If it can display 1080p, then set the mini's display resolution to 1680 x 1050.

Table of Contents issue in 11.1.2.1

Has anyone seen an issue with a book table of contents when generated in PDF Format. 11.1.2.1
On the side panel where each page is displayed there is a Table of Contents page listed but when you click on the report it does not show up at all. It is the 1st report. No Table of Contents.
Thanks.
Judy

Hi Judy,
I've seen the following bug, which sounds similar, at a client and the issue was fixed with patch set 107:
12800944 – The table of contents does not display and the page numbering is incorrect in a Complete Book in PDF.
Other book bugs fixed in patch 107:
12916617 – The page numbering in a Complete Book in PDF is incorrect.
13071627 - If a Book has page size set to Legal/Ledger/A3/A4, the complete book PDF's page numbering and Book TOC's (Table of Contents) Mapping are wrong.
12802465 - Complete Book in PDF returns a blank page with dots in 11.1.2.1.
12916552 – The table of content links navigates to the wrong report in the Complete Book in PDF.
I don't think it requires other patches to be installed (essbase, APS, Foundation, etc) however it will require re-installation of FR Studio and reconfiguration of the FR Print Server.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Iain

Making an InDesign CS4 table of contents interactive when exporting to Acrobat Pro 9

I apologise if this is a basic and blatantly obvious scenario:
I have an InDesign document that contains a Table of Contents. I need to create an accessible [tagged] pdf in Acrobat 9 with each item in the table of contents being able to link to the corresponding page in the document. For the life of me I cannot get my head around how to do this. Is there a way?

This involves how the table of contents is created in InDesign.
