Missing Bookmarks/Table of Contents

Hi
I opened an Adobe document today and went to the bookmarks for the table of contents and they are no longer visable. Played about with it for an hour but no joy.
What have I done ?
John

Can you move this again to Adobe Acrobat forum ?
Thanks
John

  • 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

    Can Adobe automatically create a table of contents for a document and if
    so how is that generated?
    Adobe will not create table of contents for you.

  • 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.

  • CS5 table of contents broken links and missing bookmarks

    I'm having an issue with the table of contents in a .pdf. I'm working on a 112 page document in InDesign CS5. After exporting the .pdf, I realized that the file would be far too large to upload to the website. I used "reduce file size" in Acrobat Pro to make it smaller and chose the option to make it compatible with Acrobat 5.0 and later. The table of contents worked fine, all bookmarks appeared and links worked but the file was still too big. I did the same thing again but for version 4.0 and later and now the file is an appropriate size but the table of contents doesn't include all of the bookmarks and certain links don't work. Any help is appreciated!

    Don't go down to 4. Consider v5 a minimum. I prefer v7 as a minimum. v4 doesn't support smarty features. Generally, the higher the version number, the more clever it is at squeezing file size. But really, the single biggest factor in PDF file size is your choice of how many ppi the bitmap images are sampled down to. Did you try setting them down to 100 ppi, for example?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

    I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents.  I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly.  When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked.  When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
    After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere.  The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC.  (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it).  The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works.  I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions.  It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
    This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist.  It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
    Here's what I've tried:
    * restarting InDesign
    * restarting my machine
    * deleting the TOC and regenerating it
    * generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
    * moving the TOC to its own document
    * probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
    All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
    I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions.  This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009.  Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4                     By (c_goates)
    So here's hoping there is some new information.  I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
    Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
    Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually.  Thanks in advance for any advice. 

    There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

  • How can I generate a table of contents from bookmarks

    How can I generate a Table of Contents from bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat XI?

    Something to try.
    Rick Bostein  provided a "Create Bookmark Report" Acrobat Action.
    With this report as a PDF you could insert it at the start of your PDF document to serve as a "TOC".

  • Table of Contents / Bookmarks Jump to Middle of Page Instead of Heading

    I generated a Table of Contents in InDesign, but when I export to the PDF and click on either the actual text link in the table of contents or on the bookmark in the lefthand column, it jumps to the middle of the page that the article is on instead of to the heading. I want the bookmarks to go to the heading (as a text anchor) instead of to a page. Anyone know how to fix this?
    FYI: I'm using CS3
    Thanks!

    Use PDF Maker and be sure you have the preferences set to create bookmarks from the style info.

  • How to remove the bookmark from the table of contents?

    Hi everyone, I have a question:
    How to remove the bookmark from the table of contents in Captivate 6?
    Regards...

    Doug, your frustration is making you "bug" gun trigger happy. LOL
    LOL, I suppose I have.
    I believe the answer you are looking for is in the publishing preferences: under LMS advanced settings, look for the option: never send resume data.
    [can someone please confirm this - I am not at a desktop now]
    Anyhow, selecting this option will stop resume data - so the lesson will treat even returning learners as new. Hopefully, this will work for you.
    This works! Thank you again!
    *but* Why isn't Captivate asking the learner to make the choice of whether to start over or resume. It does this correctly if the lesson is published stand-alone.
    Thanks again!
