Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Somewhat roundabout way but this should work:

How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

Acrobat Pro 9: "Merge files into a single pdf" creates blank pages

I have a similar problem as a previous post (which hasn't been answered).
I am able to pdf individual Word documents fine, but when I try to Combine > Merge files into a single pdf, the resulting pdf pages are all blank. I don't receive any error messages or have problems saving the file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (9.5.1) on Windows 7.
The merging of pdf's hasn't worked at all since I installed the program.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Bill
Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

Creating a Table of Content (toc)

Hi
I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
thanks and regards

Hello,
I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
Took a lot of work, but it worked.
You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

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

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.

Converting PDF Portfolio in a single PDF in Acrobat Pro 10

I need help in converting a PDF Portfolio file into a single PDF
This was simple to do in Acrobat Pro 9, but now i have upgrade to Pro 10 and this feature seems to have disappeared.
Getting rid of this feature would be huge mistake on Adobe's part, so i doubt it would be gone.
There has to be a way to do this....please fill me in on this.

Hi,
To combine files in a portfolio into a single PDF file in Acrobat X:
1) Launch Acrobat
2) In the Getting Started dialog, click on Combine Files into PDF or go to Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF...
3) Click on Add Files in upper left of the Combine Files dialog and select Add Files...
4) Navigate to and select the Portfolio you want to convert to a single PDF
5) Click Add Files
6) You will see an alert "File [File's name] is a PDF Portfolio that contains multiple files. The files within the PDF Portfolio have been added to the file list." Click OK to dismiss this dialog. The files within the Portfolio (both PDF and non-PDF) will be displayed in the file list. Non-PDF files will be converted.
7) Reorder files as desired (note: currently custom order from within the Portfolio is not maintained)
8) Click Combine Files. You will see progress as the files are merged into a single PDF file.
9) Save the resulting file
If the Portfolio file is open when you access the Combine dialog, you can choose "Add Open Files" under the Add Files menu.

Acrobat Pro XI is not recognizing Word 2013 files when I try to combine files in a single PDF. Please help.

I recently upgraded to Office 2013. Everything seems to be working fine with Acrobat Pro XI, except when I try to combine Word 2013 files into a single PDF, I get this message: "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. . . ." Please help. Thanks.

I've opened both Word and Excel. The Acrobat ribbon is showing in both programs and I did some test things and they seem to be working fine. However, I still cannot see or use formats other than pdf in the Acrobat Pro program. Is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?

You can do this on the desktop using the Acrobat SDK as a custom plugin.
You can do this on a server with Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator.

MS Word Track Changes and Acrobat Merge into a Single PDF

I am using Word 2007 to create a group of about 50 files that are being collected with Acrobat 9 Standard Merge Files Into a Single PDF feature. I need to control whether the track changes in the word files are carried over to the PDF. Said another way, I want a singe PDF with the track changes showing and another PDF witht he track changes off. Currently, the track changes are being filtered out (accepted) in the merged document. Strangely, when printing a single document with track changes, the track changes show in the PDF.
I understand I could print each of my 50 files individually and then collect them with the merge feature, but I am hoping to take advantage of the automation.
How do I control the track changes printing / not printing?
Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the comment! If this is the best Acrobat can do, I will just have to lower my expectation.

How do create a table of contents page from a series of bookmarks?

I am compiling bundles of documents for printing, starting from single PDFs. I combine them using Acrobat Pro X for Mac which gives me a single PDF, with a series of bookmarks for each document. I then insert page numbers.
What I need is a way of creating a table of contents for printing (as opposed to a "digial T.O.C" - ie the bookmarks list). Ideally, I would need a script that would copy the list of bookmarks and the page numbers for each and dump them to a new page in the PDF bundle (or a text file).
That way I can print the PDF with a Table of Contents at the front.
There was an entry on the Acobrat for Legal Professionals blog a while back (http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/12/list_bookmarks_with_a_free_scrip/) - as far as I can tell that hint only works for Acrobat 9.
Any help gratefully received

Rick Borstein created an Action in Acrobat X Pro., that allows you to create a Bookmark Report. You might see if that does the trick.
