Preview.app Collapse All in Table of Contents

Is anyone aware of a way to collapse all open sections that appear in the table of contents for a PDF file in Preview?

I don't know of a way in Preview. In Adobe Reader you can install a plugin to add this functionality.

  • OSX preview not showing acrobat-created table of contents

    I built a nice pdf bookmark tree/table of contents in Acrobat Pro. This has worked fine in the past. However oddly on this occasion while the table of contents looks fine in Acrobat, it does not show up in Preview. It's a 90 page doc assembled from MS Visio.
    What's going on?
    Anyone else coming across this issue?
    Thank you!!

    I'm running into a similar problem. In my case, I'm trying to add some bookmarks into an existing document using PdfBox 0.7.3. The original document was created with FOP 0.9.5 and Preview displays the bookmarks just fine. But after having added some bookmarks, Preview no longer shows any bookmarks!?
    Oddly, Gnome Evince 2.22.2 and Windows Acrobat Reader 9.1.1 have absolutely no problems with the modified document. It might still be a problem with PdfBox, but then I would expect other viewers to fail as well.
    If anybody has any ideas, I would very much welcome your feedback. Thanks!

  • How to create the Table of Contents in Preview for a pdf file?

    Does anyone know how to use the Preview to create a new table of contents or add a new link to the existing table of contents?
    Thanks

    Preview cannot do this - it is not a PDF editing utility. If you have the original document in an editable format (eg a Pages, or Word document) then you can edit it, print it, and from the print dialogue, save as a PDF. Otherwise you'll need the full Adobe product or similar to acheive what you want.

  • 'Preview' app not supported on this type of Mac

    When I'm trying to launch the 'Preview' app (either from Launchpad, or by clicking any image/pdf file twice), the following message appears:
    You can't open the application "Preview" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
    The last time it worked fine was two weeks ago. No new applications installed, no hardware changes. Restarting the Mac does not help. Disk utility permissions check done, permissions repaired.
    I can still launch the 'Preview' app by double-clicking Preview in
    /Applications/Preview/Contents/MacOS/
    (I have to click 'Show Package Contents' in the context menu of the 'Preview' app in Applications to see its content)
    The 'Preview' app is the only application with a white-grey prohibition sign on its icon. All the other applications work fine.
    Please help.

    Thanks, Drew Reece. This is the 'Get info' screenshot.
    I will try to reinstall the OS then.
    It is even funny how fragile the OS is. I guess the simple update to 10.9 have broken the 'Preview' app...
    UPDATE:
    I don't see a way to backup the OS w/o a TimeMachine. I would not like to change logical structure of the hard drive.

  • PDF table of contents spanning multiple PDF files - is it possible?

    Question for Acrobat Experts:
    Question 1:  Is it possible for a PDF file to contain a "left-hand-side" index/table of contents that includes the contents from itself AND other PDF files?
    I have a set of documentation in 10 separate pdf "books". However, I want users to be able to see the table of contents for all 10 books, even if they only have one book.  Also, if they click a topic from another book, that other book (pdf file) should open.
    Is that possible to do using Acrobat? (and if so, which version?)
    Question 2:  Is there a way for the all-encompasing Table of Contents to be generated real-time and always be accurate, (even if the user gets a new version of one of the "books", but not the others?)
    We want to be able to slip-stream one book at a time to end-users, but have the TOC be accurate at all times.. Not sure if PDF files can do this. I believe CHM files can.
    Thank you!

    Question 1: Yes.

  • Preview.app is extremely slow opening 500 jpg from external HD

    Hello everybody,
    yesterday I wanted to open a folder of approx. 500 jpg-Files from an USB-HD for a slideshow. I switched to the folder and opened all files in it (only jpg) via Command-A, Command-O.
    Preview.app took several minutes to load the images.
    After I copied the folder (1,27GB) to my internal Harddisk, the same process took a glimpse of 2 or 3 seconds.
    What's wrong with the opening from an external source?
    Why does Preview.app open all Images at once instead of opening them when being switched to during the slideshow, and why is the same process so much faster when loading from an internal HD?
    Can you recommend any other (free) slideshow apps?
    Thanks for any comments

    Andreas, you seem to have at least partially answered your own question. review won't play a Slideshow until all the images are loaded, and from an external drive connected by USB it takes 3.5 minutes for you to load them.
    If you just want to play a slideshow of the pictures then you do not need to use Preview at all. In a Finder window, select the pictures you want to include, Control-click and select slideshow. See if this plays immediately…
    …Actually, I just hooked up my Firewire external and tried it. The slideshow played immediately.

  • How do I update only the page numbers of a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

    Hi there!
    Please help! I'm making a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.
    I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I only see the option to update the complete table of contents.
    I saw on other forums that this is a familiar and very old problem. Did Adobe already fixed this?

    hahaha thanks no I won't Using cross-references in the future! but sending the request anyway; nothing ventured, nothing gained!
    Thanks again!

  • Indesign to ebook-kindle: how to make table of contents link/jump to first page each chapter?

    I have successfully completed the "ebooks: from adobe indesign to the kindle store.pdf"
    I have InDesign CS 5, not 5.5.
    I did the indesign doc - export to epub, then converted that epub in Calibre to MOBI format for kindle.
    But how do I make a table of contents that link or jump to the beginning of its respective chapter head?
    THANKS!!!

    Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
    It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

  • Scroll bounce causing preview.app hang

    Preview app has been hanging the entire system when I scroll down to the end of a document and get the scroll bounce effect at the bottom. I have repeated this issue many many times to confirm it.
    Finally I used a terminal command to disable the bounce effect:
    defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -int 0
    This has solved the problem. I do however miss the bounce at the end for some strange reason, and was hoping someone could tell me how to correct the underlying problem so that I can re-enable the bounce effect at the end.
    Interestingly the problem is not reproduceable in other apps that bounce at the end of a page (e.g. safari).
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers
    Murray

    The problem is related to the HD3000 graphics driver in 10.8 (after doing a lot of research). The problem is being reported with a number of different applications in 10.8 (although apparently the problem has been around since before 10.8), and after checking the administrator console it is pretty clear that this is the problem.
    It appears as though we are stuck awaiting a fix from apple.
    I have stopped using preview.app, and all is well while using "skim" at the moment.

  • How do I delete an app and all of it's components?

    Hi there,
    Just like the heading suggests, how can I do this? I've tried my best but can't seem to find a way to acces the "place" where the apps are installed/stored.
    Many thanks for any help,
    Jacobo

    Just press and hold the app until they start to shake, and press the 'x' on any that you want to delete; press the home button when you've finished so as to stop the shaking. That should delete the app and all it's data/content. You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps (iTunes, iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc.).

  • Preview bug regarding Table of Contents and Annotations

    I'm involved in a paperless pilot project and am having a difficult time circumventing an issue in Preview.
    I'm re-formatting material for executive meetings from WordPerfect, Word, Excel and PowerPoint into bookmarked PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When they are opened in Preview by senior management on MacBook Airs, the Table of Contents links everywhere correctly. However, the moment they add an annotation (in this case, notes), the table of contents is thrown one page off, regardless of their place in the document. Even after removing the note, the table of contents does not revert to the proper place. I'm assuming this occurs because the annotation throws off the markers from the imported bookmarks.
    Using Acrobat Reader on the Airs isn't an option since annotations aren't possible. We are also really trying to keep production of the PDFs limited to Acrobat Pro to ensure cross-platform compatibility of the Table of Contents.
    Has anyone else encountered these issues? Is there a potential workaround?

    A lightweight alternative to Acrobat Pro for creating a TOC is PDFOutliner ($5 on the Mac App Store.) Adding annotations later to the PDF does not affect the TOC generated by PDFOutliner.
    Note: I am the developer of PDFOutliner.

  • Preview - No Table of Contents

    I have an ebook in pdf form, that displays the Table of Contents fine using Fox-It Reader and Acrobat Reader (on windows box at work), but when I view using Preview it just displays the Title of the book.
    Anyone have any information on this or a resolution? I've searched around for similar posts here and elsewhere on the internet, but I could not find any answers. A similar post listed a similar issue back in 2009 (here), but basically the response was Preview changed since 10.5, don't use it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I tried again at home and got it to work on my iMac temporarily, but I closed the file and re-opened it and now it will not work anymore. For a second, I thought it had something to do with the fact that the pdf is in a Dropbox folder, but the fact that I got it to just work I no longer think that is the case.
    The only other thing I noticed is that there are a total of 5 pdfs in Dropbox. Three of them are password protected and all of them are not showing the TOC in preview, but show them fine in Adobe Reader (Mac), the other two are not password protected and work fine in both Preview and Adobe Reader.
    Thanks for the help,
    Mike
    PS - The 3 protected pdfs are ebooks purchased from Apress, so it is possible that it is something in the file that Preview just can't read.
