Multiple table of contents in document

Question

Hi there,
I'm new in FM8. I recently received a document in FM8. The structure of the document is as follows:
Every file of the document corresponds to a chapter. Each chapter contains a table of contents for its subheaders and paragraphs.
Table of contents (here are the chapter from 1 to 10, only the chapters)
Next is Chapter 1 which include a small table of contents with all subheads and paragraphs (e.g. 1.1, 1.1.1 and so on)
The same goes chapter 2 to 10.
That's not all.
Chapter 7, 8, 9 and 10 are placed in different folders coresponding with chapters title. The rest of them (chapter 1 to 6) are placed all in the same folder.
For chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10 I manage to update the second table of contents (which contains subheads and paragraphs - e.g. 1.1, 1.1.1 etc.)
In the main folder which contains rest of the chapters there are TOC files for the main Table of contents and for the subeahds and paragraohs contents corresponding to each chapter. Here I have problems with updating them because when I open the book and update it only the main TOC will be updated. The problem appears when I create PDF. Because after creating PDF when I click on a chapter name in the TOC it will bring me to the chapter I want but when I click on the TOC for subheads/paragraphs nothing happened, except for chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10.
So, to be more explicit.
When I click on chapter 7 in pdf, acrobat will send me to the chapter 7 where I find another TOC in wich if I click on subead 7.3 it will send me to the page that includes subhead 7.3. Instead if I click on chapter 4 it will bring me to the page coresponding for chapter 4 but there if I click on subhead 4.3 nothing will happen.
I will attach an example of that PDF.
The file structure looks like that:
Chapter 7 folder:
     - book
     - TOC file for chapter 7
     - chapter 7 (same structure goes for chapter 8, 9 and 10)
Project folder
     - book (it contains all files from chapter 1 to 10)
     - TOC file (the main TOC)
     - TOC files for chapters
     - chapters' files
Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.
Excuse my poor written english.

Hi,
if you got an FM book which contains separate TOCs for each chapter, it was most likely created using either
- the Systec TOOLBOX (http://www.systec-gmbh.com/en/sites/toolbox.php) or
- FrameScript (http://www.framescript.com/) with an itl script named "DocToc" (http://www.i-frame.itl.info/i-frame-base.html, website currently only available in German)
Without these solutions, you won't be able to comfortably handle a book like yours.
