Word 2013 table of contents duplicated in PDF

I have a large MS Word document - 326 pages, 56 thousand words and hundreds of images.  I have a table of contents in my word document.  When I use the MS Word "Save as Adobe PDF" to turn it into PDF, the finished document contains TWO tables of contents, one right after the other.
In the original Word Document the first item in the text ("Acknowledgements") is found on page "ix" and is correctly referenced in the ToC.
In the PDF, the FIRST ToC also correctly references "Acknowledgements" and says it is found on page "ix".  However, because there is a SECOND ToC, Acknowledgements now actually appears on page "xiv".  The SECOND ToC lists Acknowledgements as being on "xiv", but all the other page numbers are correct and identical in both versions of the ToC.  The hyperlinks in both ToCs work perfectly.
I have removed the ToC from the Word document and re-installed it but the problem persists.  Why is PDFmaker duplicating the table of contents like this?
Operating system: Windows 7 x64
MS Office 2013 (64-bit)
Acrobat Pro XI  (patch level 11.0.08) - I note that the PDFmaker COM add-in is a 32-bit version.

Hi PHultin -
Thanks for reporting your issue.
For investigation would need the sample document.
Request you to please share your email id for correspondence.

  • Bookmarks are not automatically creating based on Word 2013 Table of Contents.

    Bookmarks are not automatically creating based on Word 2013 Table of Contents.  In older version of Word, the Style built Table of Contents converted into Bookmarks when PDFing.

    I figured it out.  There is a new checkbox you must turn on in Word 2013 when export to PDF that allows it to convert items to Bookmarks when PDFing.

  • Word 2013 Table of contents - page numbers all change to 2 when print (or print preview)

    I have a single section document in Word 2013.  The first page is a TOC.  The document is 4 pages long and has three Level 1 Heading styles through out the document.  The TOC initially appears correct. 
    When I go to Print Preview the TOC will revert all page numbers to 2. 
    Changing the Options "Update fields before printing" and  "Allow fields containing tracked changes to update before printing" has no effect (before anyone suggests this).
    The only solution is to manually update the TOC, save to PDF, and print the PDF.
    Anyone can reproduce this problem. Try it....
    Start with blank document
    Insert a TOC (ignore the error message, we will come back to this)
    Go to the end of the document and insert a page break to move to page 2
    Now type a heading in Heading 1 style and press enter
    type some dummy text (=rand(20) for example)
    Continue steps 4 and 5 to insert more headings and dummy text.
    Now return to the top (page 1) and update the TOC
    So far so good.  Everything working well
    Now go to Print Preview (Ctrl+P)
    Everything is still good
    Escape back to the document
    Go to Print Preview again
    AGGGHHHH! All the page numbers have reverted to page 2
    Happens every time without fail.  Totally reproducible on all our office PCs.
    I have seen many descriptions of this behavior on different forums and
    not one solution. But I am like the proverbial dog with a bone - I will not let this issue go until MS gives me a solution !

  • Is it possible to delete the table of contents in a pdf but keep the bookmarks?

    Is it possible to delete the table of contents in a pdf but keep the bookmarks?

    If the TOC is located on certain pages, you can simply delete those (from the Pages panel).
    Make sure it doesn't screw up with how your bookmarks work, though...

    Hi meatmailbox,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to backup your iTunes library is to an external hard drive.  The article below will explain how to do this.   If you want the files on a CD or DVD, you would need to create playlists.  I'll include that information as well.

  • Word 2013 (Windows 7 64-bit) - Embed PDF as Icon Error

    We have a process where we embed PDFs into a table in a Word document as an icon.
    This worked for us in Word 2010, but as soon as we upgraded to Word 2013 we started getting an error message.
    "The program used to create this object is Package.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install Package or ensure that any dialog boxes in Package are closed."
    Nothing has changed except uninstalling Office 2010 and installing Office 2013.  Acrobat is still there(fully updated XI pro). Acrobat is not open when the attempt to embed is made.
    I've tried altering every option I could find that might make this process work, but nothing does the trick.  All software is fully updated as far as I can tell.   It feels like Office 2013 is not keen on the idea of working with PDFs.  The
    Acrobat Add-In seems to only promote converting word docs to PDFs, and I found little to no settings referring to PDF embedding or any embedding for that matter.
    Does Word 2013 disallow this feature unless you're using Windows 8 and the Windows Reader app?  
    Any advice would be fantastic.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please try to insert some PDF files from  Insert tab --> Object --> Create New --> Adobe Acrobat Document
    In addition, make sure Adobe Reader is the default application to open the PDF files.
    If the issue persists, please try repair or reinstall the latest version of Adobe reader and check this again.

  • How do I add a table of contents to a PDF document created through iBooks?

    I've been working on a iBook for a while for work and it functions great on an iPad. However, when I publish it as a PDF there is no table of contents. Is there a way to have the table of contents displayed automatically for the book? I dont mind if it's just a table of contents list like in a Word document, but the PDF file is very difficult if it's over 800 pages with no table of contents.

    Update on what I did:
    So instead of having an automatically generated template, I created a table of contents for each section on the chapter title slide. This table has 3 columns, Section, Topic and Page and then I use that as a reference guide for users who only use the PDF version of the document. There is no way to have interactive reference links in table elements in iBook but it suits the purpose well.

  • How to create a table of contents in a PDF

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to use preview in order to create a table of contents. This would make it easier for me to find my way around my PDF files.
    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.

  • Creating a table of contents in a PDF - which program to use?

    I have created many pdf-files from multiple sources and would like to include a table of contents to each of them. Not the side-bar bookmarked table of contents but a traditional one which prints with the document (as you can easily create in Word or Pages).
    As I have to create a table of contents for 60 different pdf-files, it would take ages to do this by hand (what I would do is create a empty word document with the chapters in the right pages and create a table of contents. I can then make a PDF of the table of contents and insert that page into my PDF-file, but it's a lot of work!)
    I have Adobe Acrobat X, but it doesn't seem to be possible with it. Searching the internet, I found some Windows programs which might do the trick, but I only have Apple computers. Does anyone know a program which can do this on an Apple?
    Thanks,
    Emile

  • 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.

  • Adobe PDF Pack - Can I create a Table of Contents in combined PDF files I am creating?

    Can I create in Adobe PDF Pack a table of contents for PDF files I am combining? 
    If the answer is YES do I name each of the PDF documents name the name I want the page to be named in the Table of Contents?
    Thank  you.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    When you combine files into a single PDF, each file you include will have a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I suppose you could treat that as a Table of Contents. (It doesn't, however, create a separate TOC and append it to the file.) The bookmark names reflect the filename of each file you combined.
    I hope that answers your question.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Creating a table of contents in a pdf

    Hi all,
    I'm using the API to create a large pdf i.e a bundle of quotes. Since I'm using the FOPRocessor(InputStrreams[],Templates[]) to create the PDF, I was wondering if there is a way to create a table of contents using the Outlineprocessor or do I need to create a pdf binder? If so, what does the xml input look like. Using my example <Quote> would be the only requirement that I need to list the contents.The Api documentation is a little light in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

  • SharePoint 2013 Table of Contents Web Part

    I have upgraded to SharePoint 2013 and have a table of contents web part that is supposed to display 5 columns. Instead, it is displaying all the sites in one long vertical column. I found the PowerShell script to set the displaycolumns property on the
    web part. However, when I ran the script, this property was already set to 5, yet it is still only displaying one column. I tried adding another table of contents web part and setting the displaycolumns to 5, but that did not work either. How can I make
    this web part to display properly?

    Hi gmchusyr,
    What script did you use for this issue?
    Table of Contents web part's display column is removed from SharePoint 2013 version, it still display in SharePoint 2010.
    Please try to run the PowerShell commands in the TechNet blog below, compare the result.

  • Change wording in Table of Contents

    In the Table of Contents is it possible to change the text that says "Slide Title" to something else?
    Thanks.

    I don't think Steve is talking about Slide Labels in the Properties tab.  He's mentioned Table of Contents.  I believe he's referring to the heading in the TOC that says: Slide Title
    If so, then the workaround to change this is to use the same trick that people use when localising these TOC strings for different language outputs.
    Just create a text file with the following text in it.
    [TOCStrings]
    SlideTitle=Module
    Duration=Time
    ClearToolTip=Wipe State
    BookMarkToolTip=book-marking
    NoSearch=String not found
    CurrTime=what
    Name this file as TOCStrings.ini and save it in the folder in which Adobe Captivate is installed. Default path where Adobe Captivate is installed is “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6”.
