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.

Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

Hi,
A client confronted me with the next question:
I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
And after that the third?
Etc.
Is that possible with an action?
Or are there scripts for?
I couldn't find them.
I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page. Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could be programed. There maybe some security coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

How to make table of contents linkable

Could someone tell me how to make the table of contents for my indesing book linkable? I've seen this in PDF documents before and assume it can be done using InDesign, but haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

I can get the Table of Contents to work and no interactive elements or visa versa.

I know its a bug what is Adobe doing about it and when are we going to get a free fix?
What version of ID are you using? What export settings? As noted above, there is a bug, and what you want may not be posible at the moment.

How to make table of contents in IBooks Author?

I am having trouble with the Table of Contents in IBooks Author, I have completed successfully all the steps and pages,
photos and widgets, but have been stuck on the Table of Contents for months. I've Googled and searched for help,
but either don't understand or it doesn't apply to my book. I am trying to publish a Children's Book which really doesn't need
the Table of Contents, but apparently they won't publish without one.
Please advise if you have an answer for this frustrating problem,
thank you!

Crafting a chapter-less book is possible, but a minimum of one section is required.
Remove the chapter label, leave the TOC blank and you'll then have a basic/generic point from which to work with. Use the 'File/Save As Template' menu before modifying further if you want to reuse later, etc.
Keep in mind that the default navigation means at the very least there will be a series of small dots along the bottom of the screen indicating sections, which when tapped will display thumbnails. If your book isn't doing that (landscape), try another template.

Make table of contents links keep current zoom level, not zoom out to full page

When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically link to the paragraphs the links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to that page. Great.
What's not so great is, that the hyperlinks / cross-references / jump-links / whatever that are created behind the scenes within the table of contents appear to:
...be automatically set to reset the zoom to full page width
...not be editable in any way
Normal cross references retain the zoom level that the user has chosen, and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings about what zoom level change (if any) should be imposed on the user, which can be set to 'inherit zoom'.
How do I set up a table of contents that doesn't annoy users by resetting their chosen zoom level to an artitrary default when they use the interactive table of contents?
I'm really hoping I don't have to ditch Indesign's table of contents feature and create every cross reference manually.

(editted) So it turns out that you can 'expand' a table of contents by copying and pasting it - this fills the hyperlinks panel with links that can be editted (like above) but breaks the auto-update - they're no longer a TOC, they're just a text frame full of links. (I had got different copies mixed up when I thought the frame holding the editable links was also auto-updating)
The greying out of the links was a red herring, just something to do with the fact they were on a master page.
It does mean that one possible TOC workflow is:
Create a TOC on the pasteboard somewhere.
Before finalising the document, update this TOC and alt-drag the 'live' TOC creating an editable 'dead' copy in an appropriate place in the document
Edit the link properties of the links in the 'dead' copy (don't forget that you can select multiple hyperlinks at once by holding down shift, and edit things like the Zoom Setting all at once with Hyperlink Options in the Hyperlinks flyout menu. )
Then, if you make other changes to the document later on, delete the dead copy, update and re-copy the live original, and re-do the changes to the new copy
This isn't a bad method - it just adds about a minute's work each time you export a PDF (delete, update TOC, alt-drag, shift-select the new batch of .XXXX links at the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel, > Hyperlink Options, Zoom Setting > Inherit Zoom, done).
Alternatively, you could manually build a TOC using cross-references if you want links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

How to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table ?

Dear Friends,
Hello. I am developing the accounting application of journal entry. In journal line, I use the image "magnifying glass" next to each chart field. When we click on the magnifying glass, it's supposed to come up a look up table( a chart and name mapping table), and we select the proper chart to input into the chart field.
I understand to create another record and page for the look up table. But I don't understand how to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table. Can anybody tell me how to do that ? Thanks.
Lucy

This is how it works,
Table A (which stores chart fields). You have used fields from table A on a page so that users can input data.
You don't need to put a magnifying glass image or create a new page to achieve look up page.
all you need to do is create another table say Table B which should have the chart field and corresponding description you want to show on lookup page. Then open record-field property of the chart field on Table A and mention Table B as prompt table.

HOW TO MAKE TABLE CONTROL NON EDITABLE

hi all
how to make table control non editable

Hi,
Try this code in the PBO inside the module in the LOOP...ENDLOOP.
   IF SY-TCODE EQ 'ZEMPLDISPLAY'.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
     if screen-name eq 'column1' or screen-name eq 'column2'. "Give the names of the columns in the table control
      SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    endif.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Or you can go the Layout of the table control in Change mode and for every column's attributes, make it 'Output' only field. Check 'Output only' field.

How to make table that will include controls such as drop list?

How to make table that will include controls such as drop list?
I need to create table as Property Browser of ActiveX, that include rows with differnt types such as drop list, color, ...

Hi Nadav,
I figured out where I missed your point. When you wrote
table as Property Browser of ActiveX, that include rows with differnt types such as drop list, color, ...
I was thinking mixed data-types in a [2d] table!
Looking at the property browser again it looks like no single LV function can do all of that. It can be developed as a pop-up (like the browser is set-up) and then code all of the elegance using an event structure to control the background color of a string indicator while controling the visability of rings that are only made visable when a mouse down is detected. That will get you pretty close.
So no, my previous response ws not correct for what you are trying to do if you want to duplicate all of the wistles and bells of the property browser pop-up window.
Please forgive my distraction.

so i run it please see attached file:
please help how to make table format outpur what are the steps that i need to produce correctly.

Hi,
From your post, it seems that you need to upload the results of the query to Oracle Support.
You can spool the output to a file and upload it.
Something like...
SQL>spool output.txt
SQL>set lines 200
SQL>set pages 200
--execute the queries
SQL>spool off
I don't know about SQL Developer but tools such as PL/SQL Developer and Toad will allow you to export the query results directly to MS Excel.

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

The weird sliding navigation is Apples pride and joy!
That TOC allows you to slide between chapters, sections and pages.
iBooks Authjor was designed to do what it does and what Apple wanted it to do.
Some things can be changed during the books production, but the " weird navigation" is not something you can change to do what you want.
iBooks Author is does not produce ePubs.. at least not as "ePub" is known from Pages, inDesign etc,.
If you want what is available in ePubs.. then iBooks Author is not the application to produce it.
You could drag a section page above chapter on and create an index type page using book marks for links - but whats the point?
People using iPads and familiar with iBooksAuthors special way of book presentation.. are quite happy its so easy to use.
