Generating a PDF Table of Contents Using DDX - DDX puts the string "cover" in all caps

When using DDX to generate a table of contents for a PDF, I discovered that DDX puts the string "cover" in all caps. For example, the item:
<PDF source="something" bookmarkTitle="Hard Drive Recovery"/>
will result in the table of contents entry "Hard Drive ReCOVERy".
Does anyone know of a way to prevent or work around this?
Thanks,
-- Matt

I am curious about this, mainly because, for me, the 'bookmarkTitle' attribute causes an error when the DDX is assembled.
I have CF9.0.1 running on Windows 7 but this also happened on CF9.0
and you ?

List view of PDF Table of Contents missing

In iBooks, PDF files can have two types of Table of Contents, thumbnail view and list view. My problem is some of my PDF files lack the list view of the table of contents.
I'm under the impression that the list view TOC in iBooks is created from the bookmarks that exist in the PDF file before importing into iBooks. I've been successful in adding new subheadings in the TOC by modifying the bookmarks in the PDF file before installing to iBooks, so I'll be surprised if that's not the case.
I have two files that have bookmarks in the original PDF file, but when I import into iBooks, there is no option for a list view of the TOC, only the thumbnail view. Can anyone offer any help as to why a PDF file with bookmarks won't show a list view TOC when imported into iBooks?
While we're at it, when you tap on the TOC button in a PDF file in iBooks, it always takes me to the thumbnails view. I would prefer it default to the list view. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

There may be more user-friendly ways of doing this, but here's one way:
Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder).
Use "cd" to change directory to the folder you want to print
eg cd /Users/myuser/Documents
Use "ls" to list the contents to a file
ls -al > filelist.txt
You can then open the filelist.txt file from Finder in TextEdit and print it.

Table of contents using cfdocument

Good day,
I've been trying to create a table of contents using
cfdocument. I've been unsuccessful in extracting the page number
out of the document. I know they are reserved for that scope, but
i've tried copying the value into an application variable and
accessing it on a different page to no avail. I've tried to
increment a basic counter, can't seem to get that to work either.
If anyone has any experience in this, please help me out.

I'm not sure you understood my post. I was able to do exactly as you did -- create a master page with a frame and the section marker character (which shows as "section" on the master page) and then add the actual marker text in the numbering and section options. The correct text appears on the live document page.
When I tried to make a TOC the text was not picked up UNTIL I selected and overrode that master frame onto the document page (Ctrl + Shift + Click on Windows or Cmd + Shift + Click on Mac on the frame you want to override). Once overridden, the text appeared as expected in the TOC.
You are correct about the page number for that page. You can use a different master without a page number, or you can override and delete the number frame from the master page. I presume you will either use a different master for the first page and following pages of any section to avoid having the marker appear on all pages, or you can override only the first page so that you don't repeat entries in the TOC for every page in each section. If you are using the Section Marker as a running header you might want to read about Running Header Variables in the Help files instead. In many ways the use of a variable might be simpler and more straightforward.

PDF Table of Contents

I want to create a bookmarked table of contents for a 700+ page document. I figured that I would bookmark the text in the table of contents to go to the appropriate pages...
...but...
...I have also been asked if we can also include an easy way to let the user go BACK to the table of contents. In Acrobat, the only way that occurs to me is to add text to every page that says "return to tabe of contents" and bookmark every last one of them.
Does anyone have any better ideas when it comes to making a user-friendly PDF table of contents? (Including with third-party applications?)

It looks like Ihave found it, thanks. THis might work. Just two dummy questions from having just tried it out seconds ago.
1. Do I have to specify a zoom level for the action? I'd rather that the zoom level remain that which the user had already selected.
2. I have specified the text to be black on a grey button, but when I save the document and re-open it, the button is grey with no visible text. How do I make the text visible?
Thanks.

Exporting PDF document to Excel. When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of people the Excel page shows all the names on one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible. What am I doing wrong?

Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

it's just another View for your tabs which needs less *space* in the taskbar, but same *memory* of your computer.
exception: if you (re)start FF and restore the last session (with lots of tabs/groups) there is an option in FF-Settings to load the (content of the) tabs only as soon as they are clicked, and not as soon as FF starts. That trick saves memory.

Why I can't use a photo on the back cover in

why I can't use a photo on the back cover in

I'm assuming you're referring to the back cover of a book in iPhoto. The reason is non of the themes have a photo on the back cover. Some have a small photo on the back of the dust jacket. Go to the back cover, click on it and check out the various layouts available.
In the future include full sentences and specific information about what you're trying to accomplish, what versions of software you're using, etc. so we don't have to guess.

Can you generate a Table of Contents using bookmarks?

Hi,
I am a newbie to InDesign and am probably missing the obvious but...
I am creating a document in InDesign and want to generate a Table of Contents. I have just created a de facto ToC with Bookmarks for the exported PDF version of the file, but there seems to be no way to take this information and use it to creat an actual ToC in the ID file itself. My bookmark list contains the information for all the chapter and sub headings along with the page locations, all the data I need to create my ToC, but I can't find a way to do this. I don't understand why I have to use paragraph styles to set this up? It is overly complicated for my needs, added to that it is duplicating my work. If I have to set up paragraph styles for the print version and bookmarks for the PDF version, why can't one set of information be used to generate both version of a Toc?

You don't consider 100 pages a long doc? Ouch. If it needs a TOC, I'd say that's pretty definitive for it being long.
I know users who set up styles for even one-page projects. I figure it's worth setting up a style for any formatting that will repeat more than twice, regardless of document length. It's pretty fast using the format/select/define style method of formatting text the way you want, then selecting it and choosing "New Style" from the appropriate panel.

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.

How to create a Table of Contents using Pages 09?

Hi guys,
I have little problems creating a Table of Contents in Pages, though it seems quite simple. I'm working with the template 'Term Paper' and I use paragraph styles (Title, Heading I, II, etc.). I have some very long documents (about 80 pages long) so I wanted to create a TOC (using sections) but it says:
The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document.
When I compare the paragraph styles I do use and the paragraph styles in the Document Inspector, they match. So I'm a bit upset about this because I really need to use this great feature!
Thanks for you answers guys!

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.

Financial Reporting - PDF Table of Contents not working

I am using FR to run scheduled batches each weekend. Some of the books are over 100 pages in length and we have a Table of Contents (TOC) with each book created. The page numbers within the TOC are correct and correspond to the correct report. However, when clicking on the page number in the TOC, it takes us to the incorrect location. It can be a page or two off or it can be 10 pages off. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
We are on 11.1.2.1 in Prod.

Try with latest patch # 14406630 for 11.1.2.1 as it fixes page number issues.

Generating a formatted table of contents

I'm trying to generate a formatted TOC in Frame 8. When I generate it, it's in Times New Roman and not in the format I want. I've tried importing the formats I want from another TOC and manually making the changes, but when I need to update the TOC, it loses all the formatting.
How can I generate and update a TOC that contains formatting?

Melissa,
Both Riley and I are assuming that you use a standard format for your TOCs.
When we say "generate a new TOC." that means adding a TOC to the book file, then right-clicking it and running the Set Up TOC procedure by selecting what component file tags you want to list.
After you generate that TOC, TOC-specific tags are generated so that Heading1 in your chapters is represented as a Heading1TOC tag.
Where there may be a problem is if the formatted TOC lists different tags than your book does. If your book has H1s, for instance, and the previous book had Heading1s, the tags aren't going to automatically match up.
If you're importing all formats from a working TOC, that should also bring in a properly formatted Reference Page.

How distill a file to strictly PDF/A‑1a:2001 using Acrobat XI? Is that possible at all?

How to distill a MS WORD file to strictly PDF/A‑1a:2001 by using Acrobat XI? Is that possible at all?

It is Amazing because in the Product description to the buyer as you learn from this discussion and see the links it is not absolutley explicit. There is the Product page for standard on:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard.html
there you find the option "more..." under "top features" for Adobe Acrobat Standard, you click and com to:
Features | Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Then down there you see as top feature:
"http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/iso-pdf-x-32000-standards.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/iso-pdf-x-32000-standards.htmlIMPROVED Conform to ISO PDF standards
Create PDF documents that comply with standards managed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)."
and with a image that shows that the product includes both PDF/A and PDF/X.
Even if you follow this link further to:
PDF ISO 32000, PDF/X, PDF archive | Adobe Acrobat XI
The URL indeed says "acrobatstandard" and the page does not distinguish.
Only the section:
"Get help creating accessible PDF files/ Simplify the creation and verification of PDFs that need to conform to accessibility standards for people with disabilities. The Make Accessible guided Action* will help you every step of the way."
is explicitly with anasterix footnoted and is distinguished. It makes clear to buyer that "PDF/X and PDF/A are part of the Standard version", I would say.
I would say as a buyer of the Standard version under these conditions of product description it is normal to believe that two of the most basic "standards" are in the "Standard" version included PDF/X and PDF/A, otherwise Adobe would Asterix and footnote it at least or be more explicit and not mention it as Improvement a.s.f. Another interpretation would be to get the buyer first buying without very explict information the Standard version and then making him over days of trial and questions in a forum where people have also similar problems: Aha!! it is not included. "Upgarde it! and pay us more!"
This is amazing, Gilad.
