Examples - Added Table of Contents

FYI
Using the cool new Apex_* views in 2.2, I added a (searchable) Table of Contents region/page to all the example pages in my application
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:500
Cleaned up the page names to attempt to categorize them better (report, form, utility, misc, etc)
Also added a Forum Link region to all the pages to point to the discussion thread on this forum where the example/technique is discussed in detail.
[Sorry but I deleted the "guest" developer login to my workspace. Until Apex supports a "lock application" feature or a "readonly developer" feature]
Hope this helps.

Vikas,
Now that is really slick. Your imagination is really impressive.

Adding annotations throws off Table of Contents links

I asked this a month ago and got no responses...Help is critically needed. When annotations are added, the bookmarks seem OK on authoring machine, but once PDF is opened on another machine, everything thrown off!
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 table of contents for any PDF is PDFOutliner (only $5 on Mac App Store.) The TOC links generated by PDFOutliner don't have the problem you've described above. You could open your PDF in PDFOutliner and re-save it (the TOC will be rebuilt) for a quick test.
Note: I'm the developer of PDFOutliner.

Nothing added to the table of contents

I'm using the "Biography" template (portrait only) in iBooks Author. According to Help,
"By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like."
So I paste some text into the first two pages of my new book. I select a line of text, show the Styles drawer, and click Heading 1 or Heading 2.
I choose Table of Contents from the sidebar, and there's nothing added to the table of contents. I preview it on my iPad. Same problem.
Am I doing something wrong?

Table of Contents adding pages

Hi there,
So my issue is this. I updated my Table of Contents to include my Index Title. Only 1 items uses that paragraph style (the Index Title generated at the end of the book). The problem is, when I now try to update my ToC it adds approximately 28-30 pages. And not just adding pages, but some before and some after the foreword. It's messing with the text, but not images, and I can't just delete the pages as this messes up the entire book.
Any suggestions on what to do to add the index name to my ToC without adding pages, or if you've encountered the problem and I'm just SOL, I'd appreciate a reply.
Thanks!
Shawna

Hi junius49
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately Pages' TOC function and formatting are fairly basic.
There is no way I know of applying character styles to portions of text and as the text is not directly selectable you can't just edit it.
The only way round this would be to export the TOC text and bring it back in as regular text without the links.
Peter

How can I include, in the table of content, a title that I have put on a shape?

Hello all,
1. I have a table of content
2. I have added shapes
3. I wrote text (titles. subtitles) on the shapes
4. They do not appear in the table of content.
5. They only appear in the table of content if they are not on a shape.
Pages 5.5.2
Can you help?
Law

Hi Law,
Text in a shape or a text box will not feature in the table of contents.
To get a colour behind your titles, type them into your document (not a shape). Format as Heading or some other paragraph style the TOC will recognise.
Select the title text and Format Panel > Text > Font > Gearwheel > Advanced Options.
Choose Character Fill Color and choose a colour from the palette (left) or colour circle (right).
Example Titles (all on the same page for a smaller screen shot).
Chapter 3 (in a coloured Text Box or Shape) does not appear in the TOC:
Hint for cheats :
To give the titles a wider Character Fill Colour, add some Tab characters before and after.
Regards,
Ian.

Table of Content Help - Anchored Objects/Listing Order

For the love of god this is extremely frustrating. I have been searching for literally hours trying to find the solution.
I have a large document, linked frames from page 1 through page 44 for example.
On many pages I have figures, and using an incrementing paragraph style, these figure captions are numbered sequentially.
When generating a table of contents, any figures that are in the main linked frames are created in the proper order.
My issue is that on a few pages, I have figures inside anchored objects - basically an anchored text frame with a picture and the figure label text using my paragraph style.
These anchored objects are not being put in the table of contents in the proper order - they are being added to the end of the toc! Indesign should be smart enough to add items on the page in the proper order - be it the main frame or an anchored one!
For example
Figure 1 - page 1
Figure 2 - page 1
Figure 3 - page 2
Figure 5 - Page 3
Figure 4 - Page 2 <<< huh?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

After looking at this a bit more, this may or may not work so we might need to get dirty on this one .....................
Some clues can be found here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-bookbinding-176639.pdf
Looking at Page 7, it should be obvious that we can add additional deatils to the reports, including cover pages.
Though, after looking at Page 8, I think I may have you slightly in the wrong direction. toc-template appears to simply cover the commands for the table of contents and there is another template to control everything. But is that file visible to edit?
If you run FRConfig.cmd, you can find more clues.
Go to the MBeans tab, expand com.hyperion, then expand Financial Reporting, and Attributes.
The two attributes that immeidately jump out are TextPrintTemplate and BookTOCPrintTemplate
- TextPrintTemplate is the FR_TextTemplate.doc file in <<EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>>/products/FinancialReporting/bin/ folder
- BookTOCPrintTemplate is the toc-template.rtf file previously discussed.
Once again, though, the other template exposed to us is most likely just driving the content and is not at a high enough definition level for this to work how you want it to.
I would say to use the example in the PDF and try adding that to the table of contents page before it does all of the loops. Perhaps it will work from there, perhaps not.
If that doesn't work, Thursday we can attempt to drill into this more.

Table of Contents Style Issue

I am a new user of InDesign 5 and am working with a Table of Contents that was prepared for me in my office. I have updated my text and inserted a few pages into my document and now have some odd formatting showing up in the TOC. I have deleted my text, added it back in, applied different styles and checked to be sure that I don't have any overrides applied. The issue is that the leader (....) seems not to be showing up for about 1/4 of my TOC entries. Any help would be appreciated.
Grainy (sorry) Image below (note items: Filter 4, Import 11, Export 21 as examples)
Thanks!

jclarke2,
You got verify all the styles envolved.
Try first verify this:
For each style included has to be similar like this example. The "entry style" can't be "[Same style]" like on the pic. You have to create one style and verify if don't have any tag besides the leader.
Good luck!

Table of Contents Web Part

We have a website that builds a sitemap using the OOTB Table of Contents web part to build a Site Map. The site consists of several subsites and the site map is close but under one particular subsite though the site map shows duplicate links. As
an example if you look in the page library you see page1.aspx, page2.aspx, page3.aspx and page4.aspx but on the sitemap page it displays:
SubsiteName
page1
page2
page3
page4
page2
page1
page3
Page4
The repitition isn't in any order either which i have tried to display in my example. Anyone else witnessed this? We have 5 different environments and all are affected in the same way.
Thanks in advance

hi
good that you found workaround, but I would anyway add few words here which may help to troubleshoot original problem: in this case it is worth to check navigation settings of the problematic site. There may be some headings and links added manually, which
cause this behavior.

Table of Contents navigation question in Captivate 5.5

Hi - I'm a fairly new user of Captivate (5.5.), and hope that someone can answer this question. I'm trying to set up a table of contents with navigation that will not let users go to slides that they have not yet viewed, but still enable users who have left and re-entered a course go back to any previous slide that they've viewed. Here are some details:
* I'm publishing the course using the SCORM 2004 setting, and testing it in SCORM Cloud and our LMS (Cornerstone)
* The table of contents navigation is set only to "Navigate visited slides only."
* After reading as many of the related posts as I could find on this forum, I've been able to get bookmarking to work - that is, the course will take the user back to where he or she left off. And by using the InfoSemantics TicTOC widget, when a user returns to the course, all previously viewed slides are checked off in the table of contents.
* However, whatever I've tried, a user who leaves and goes back into a course can only navigate back to the first slide, not to any of the other slides he or she already viewed. I'd like for our users to be able to go back to any previous slide they viewed (for example, to review the section just before the one where they left off, or to review any part of the course for reference after completing it).
Is there a combination of settings, or a widget somewhere, that will let you both limit forward navigation to visited slides only, while still allowing users to go back to any previously viewed slide after exiting and re-entering a course? And this would need to work in an LMS.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

I did have the self-paced learning option checked, so I unchecked it. I did not have "user must past quiz" as required (it's set as optional). I tried adding an interactive button to the first slide and giving it a score. But after re-publishing, I still can only go back to the first slide (not any previously viewed slide) if I stop and re-enter the course. Here are the settings:
Quiz Reporting:
Manifest:
LMS Customization:
Quiz Settings:
Quiz Pass/Fail:
Settings for the interactive object on the first slide:
Settings for the "quiz" on the last slide:
Thanks so much for helping me with this.

Table of contents Heading

Dear Support Community,
I am writing a report. I added a table of contents. When my TOC was shorter than one page, the heading of the whole TOC stayed where it was - above it.
But when I add enough headlines for the TOC, that it gets longer than one page, the TOC jumps over to the next page. The heading stays where it was.
How can I fix my headline, so that it stays directly over the TOC? The TOC itself is perfect, I just have to write Table of contents over it. I can't move it.
Thank you for your help!

There is no easy or elegant way to do this as far as I know.
ID uses paragraph styles to generate the TOC, so each paragraph becomes a new listing. You can gain the appearance of two paragraphs in the running text while having only one buy using a forced line break (Shift + Enter) betweent he heading and sub-heading, which will combine the two into a single listing in the TOC, but you will still need to replace the line breaks with your choice of separator (you used a tab in your example, but I might pick an em space) after the TOC has been generated. That's easy to do with Find/Change.
Styling becomes a bit more of an issue when you work this way if the sub-headaing has a different format from the main heading. You must apply a character style to one part or the other to change it, and you almost certainly need to do that using a nested style rather than applying the character style by slecting the text, or worse, selecting text and applying local changes. Because formatting applied as a nested style is part of the paragraph style definition it is not carried into your TOC if you use a different paragraph style inside the TOC, but manually applied styles and local formatting are preserved as overrides to any style applied inside the TOC.
The other typical approach to this problem is to add a non-printing bit of text with a unique paragraph style set up for the purpose, and to use that style instead of the heading/subheading styles to make the TOC. Your non-printing text should be entered exactly as you wish it to read in the TOC. I personally like to use and anchored object for this so it will move with the headings, and you can stick it up in the top margin out of the way. I usually make this red, too, so it is obvious to anyone editing the file.

Table of contents in Crsytal Reports 2008

Hi,
I have a requirement to create table of contents showing pagenumbers along with the titles in report.I tried using below formula:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Array catArry;
NumberVar Array pageArry;
IF NOT (GroupName({ARTIST.LAST_NM}) IN catArry) THEN (
Redim Preserve pageArry[UBound(pageArry) + 1];
pageArry[UBound(pageArry)] := PageNumber;
Redim Preserve catArry[UBound(catArry) + 1];
catArry[UBound(catArry)] := GroupName({ARTIST.LAST_NM});
Here grouping should be done on the name of last name. I have created a group also with that. This formula is added in Report header. But i am getting an error stating "A boolean value is required here" while saving it.
I also tried the below formula as an alternative approach:
global stringvar strTOC1;
global stringvar strTOC2;
local stringvar strTemp;
if not InRepeatedGroupHeader then
( strTemp := {ARTIST.LAST_NM} + chr(10) ;
if len(strTemp) + len(strToc1) <= 254 then
    ( strToc1 := StrToc1 + strTemp;
    strToc2 := StrToc2 +
      totext(PageNumber,0) + chr(10) ))
This also gives the same error.
Please let me know if the formulas used are incorrect. Please suggest if there are anyother ways to implement this.
Thanks in advance!

Satya,
In Oracle create a Package with both a Package Head and a Body definition - ORACLE help has acouple examples of this
In the Head you would need to define the REF_CURSOR record you would be using in Crystal. I am copying a simplified version of one of mine here:
The Head definition --
create or replace PACKAGE TST_PROFILE_EXTRACT_RENAME AS
TYPE PROFILE_EXTRACT_REC IS RECORD
(RC_Profile_num_in               TEST.PRFL_NB%type
,Addditional fields are defined here
,Addditional fields are defined here
,Addditional fields are defined here
TYPE PROFILE_EXTRACT_Type IS REF CURSOR RETURN PROFILE_EXTRACT_rec;
PROCEDURE sp_PROFILE_EXTRACT (
PROFILE_EXTRACT_CURSOR IN OUT PROFILE_EXTRACT_TYPE
,IV_PARAMETER_1 IN PRM_RPT_DFLT.TEST_NUM%TYPE
,IV_PARAMETER_2 IN VARCHAR2);
END TST_PROFILE_EXTRACT_RENAME;
Body definition --
create or replace PACKAGE BODY TST_PROFILE_EXTRACT_RENAME AS
PROCEDURE sp_PROFILE_EXTRACT (
PROFILE_EXTRACT_Cursor IN OUT PROFILE_EXTRACT_Type
,IV_PARAMETER_1 IN PRM_RPT_DFLT.TEST_NUM%TYPE
,IV_PARAMETER_2 IN VARCHAR2 ) IS
--- working variables go here
LV_FILLER_D6                    CHAR(6);
LV_FILLER_H9                   CHAR(9);
LV_FILLER_T14                  CHAR(14);
BEGIN
Code to delete out any existing "old" data rows from a previous execution
COMMIT -- to make sure these do not get picked up in the current execution
Code goes here -- to do full Select and/or PLSQL goes here including the insert to the "temp" table you have defined in structure to ORACLE.
After all processing is done and all updates COMMITTED,
Open the REF_CURSOR to Crystal using a select against your "temp" table as the last piece of code in your SP.
OPEN PROFILE_EXTRACT_Cursor FOR
select
RC_Profile_num_in
,Addditional fields are defined here
FROM "temp" table
WHERE   - any additional logic you might need (we are using a unique identifier for each report SP in order to allow reuse/multi-threading of our reports)
ORDER BY ..... as necessary for your critera - we are using a counter to make sure we retrieve the rows in the order they are inserted but this may or may not be necessary depending on your data.
END sp_PROFILE_EXTRACT;
END TST_PROFILE_EXTRACT_RENAME;
Searching the web for ORACLE and Stored Procedures returns a number of examples (some good and some otherwise) but this is the model we are using.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Financial Reporting Books Table of Content

Hi,
i've created a financial reporting book and i want to/have to insert a title page (pdf file). The table of content is always created in front of this title page. I tried to modify xml statements in the book file but there isn't a setting which defines the order of Table of Content and the other included book files. Does anyone know if there is a command to do that. Or is there somewhere some kind of style sheet where the table of content is defined?
At least i would like to insert a Logo into the table of contet.
Thank you for your help
Best regards
Tim

Edit fields of table of contents

Hello guys.
i used the automatic table 1 to create the table of contents.
but in this table level 1 and level 2 start with a space which isn't stable.
i mean something like this:
1-        Chapter 1 ... 1
1-1   Example...........1
1-2          Example. 1
1-2-1 example..........1
i couldn't edit the fields to show the table like this:
1-        chapter............. 1
1-1        Example...........1
1-2        Example. .........1
1-2-1       Example.........1
i wondering is there a way to create a table like this?
Thanks.

I have tested in my computer to insert a table of content, it works well.
Make sure you have added your title to the right level.(Ribbon>Reference>Table of contents)
Check if there's extra space between the chapter line.
We might also customize the table of contents by clicking Insert table of content.
Select the right option that best suits your requirements.

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

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
nitin

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]
Regards
