Multiple table of contents in one document

I would like to create multiple table of contents in one document. It would look something like the layout below. Each of the documents is a standalone FrameMaker file. Is this possible? I'm wracking my brain for ideas. Thank you!

lawrence,
Pages will only accommodate one TOC, I'm sorry to say. The others will have to be generated manually.

How do I create multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one Pages document?

I'd like to have multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one document. This is useful for me because I'd like to have a TOC for the regular chapters, then a TOC for the procedures, then a TOC for the tables in the document (it's a tech manual that I am writing). How can I do this? Thanks for any help you can render, and have a nice day!

Paragraph used.
It has nothing to do if there is one main TOC or several smaller TOC to do.
It isn't true that you can only have one TOC in a document. Use styles for your titles and headings. I do and it works fine without section breaks.
You also need to tick which tile and heading you want in the TOCs in the Document Inspector > TOC
Did that.
Thanks to Yvan's quoting from the User Guide, I see where it says each TOC only indexes the material up until the next TOC. Since I had them follow each other, that is why they had no content.
Still it defeats the objective of indexing different material throughout the document if all you get is what is between the TOCs.

Multiple tables of contents -- any updates?

I've searched the Pages help topic and came here look to see if I could find any help. I'm writing my dissertation in Pages, and I need to have multiple tables of content: one for the chapters, headings, sub-headings, etc., one for a list of figures, and one for a list of tables.
I found one thread on this topic that was already closed, and it looks like multiple tables of contents was not possible at that point. Are there any new updates or workarounds that would allow this feature?
I'd hoped to complete my entire dissertation in Pages but alas, it looks like I'll have to export it to Word and struggle with learning to to TOCs in Word. Bleah.

Karen,
Sorry to disappoint but you aren't going to easily achieve what you want with the current version of Pages. Hopefully a newer version will do this. You might want to experiment with NeoOffice in the meantime. It's free and IMHO a less of a struggle than Word.
In any event, concentrate on the content of your dissertation. When you have the text, the formatting will be a breeze no matter what applications you have at your disposal by then.
Good luck!

Multiple Table of Contents

I am using Captivate 5 and I am creating a course which will essentially contain 3 different version inside of it, I'm wonderign if it is possible to have multiple Tables of Contents within a single course?
Thanks!

I ran into a similar issue. Mine was a broad topic with "subchapters", for want of a better term. I wanted my users to be able to jump around within topics as needed and the simple TOC didn't cut it. Plus I had several slides during my simulation that were about 1 sec in length so I had several slides named "Cont." on the TOC...not very pretty. My workaround was to create my subchapters as separate projects and then pulled them all together in the aggregator. It wasn't perfect but it was close. I've added the ability to create sub-TOCs to the feature request page. Maybe I should bribe the Captivate developers with cookies???

Multiple table of contents in document

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.
Trully yours,
Fagaras Codrut Sebastian

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.
Regards,
Bernd

Can you create a table of contents for the documents within a PDF Portfolio?

If I create a pdf portfolio that contains multiple documents (e.g. Word, multiple PDFs and Excel documents), is there a way to create a table of contents at the beginning of the portfolio to help navigate to the individual documents?

Hi,
The Files list displays a list of files, so the user can quickly see all the files in the portfolio with any information you want to share; title, description, file type, size etc.
Or, you can also use a different layout, for example, the Linear and use the space next to each file to describe it.
Hope this helps.......

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.

How do I combine multiple pdf's into the one document?

A Printer told me awhile ago when i bought in some stuff, that I can combine the pdfs all into the one pdf. Can anyone tell me how you do that and also can I do this with pdf's that are different document sizes? I am making an inviation, program, place cards and certificates for an awards ceremony, and wanted to know if I can combine all my pdf's into the one big pdf, even though they are are all different sizes.
Thanks for any help!

If you combine PDF files in Acrobat, remember that when you save your new larger PDF with save as command, it will be saved as PDF version that your Acrobat uses, in Acrobat 9 that will be PDF1.8. Some printers want PDFs to be PDF1.3... in those cases you need to optimize your PDF´s compatibility back to PDF1.3...
Personally I don´t understand why that is required, because usually reason for that is Transparency, or fact that printer doesn´t want any Live Transparency in those PDF files. But if PDFs have been made properly, theres no live transparency there in the first place....
Anyway, I have bumped in to that requirement few times....

How to select multiple pages to export from one document to another

Have a 200 + page doc, would like to select about half to place in another doc.
An earlier post advised selecting the required pages in thumbnail view and copy and paste into second doc. No problem with single page that way but how to select the multiple pages.
Would appreciate some guidance please.
Am using Pages Maverick.

Thanks fruhulda.
This is what I found,
make a section around the consective pages to be copied,
in thumbnail view, hold down shift key, right click on first page in section of interest, select copy,
in thumbnail view of second document, right click and select paste.
transfer complete.
Found clicking in body of second document, ie not the thumbnail view, paste will only transfer text and not images.
I do have difficulty in splitting sections - will search forum

How can multiple footers be placed in one document?

I have 40 documents, each with between 3 and 25 pages, each with a footer that has a page number and the document title. I want to combine all 40 documents into one pdf but have the pages numbered consecutively rather than have each of the 40 documents begin again at page 1.
I removed the page numbering from the original documents' footers and turned on page numbering in Acrobat. It numbers properly but the page numbers are below the document titles, which does not look good. I would like to remove the footers completely from the original documents and include the title of each document in the pdf, changing them when necessary and suppressing them when necessary.
For example:
Pages 1 - 5: Title 1
Page 6: Suppress footer
Page 7 - 15: Title 2
Page 16: Suppress footer
and so on, with page numbering consecutive from 1 - 16, etc.
Can this be done and if so, how?
Thanks
Guy Lydig

When you add headers and footers you can define in the dialog in the blue link "page range options" which pages you want to affect with your settings.

Creating a table of contents in a PDF document?

Can Adobe automatically create a table of contents for a document and if so how is that generated? Is that something that is only for an Adobe e-Book?

Adobe will not create table of contents for you.

Finding then combining content from several indesign documents in one document

Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone can help...
I'm trying to write scripts for indesign server which I want to:
a) search for,
b) pick out, then
c) put together content from one or many indesign documents into a template on the server starting at a pre-defined point in the template.
After that we produce a pdf of the document to pass on / do whatever. I've got so far with the scripting documentation but I'm stuck! This is what I've done so far:
1/ create a document template with a script
2/ add text elements to the document template (header and footnote, title, body text i.e. intro and data, and the contact details)
3/ add text / content from another indesign file into this document (so far only done it with a .txt file) ...
... I'm stuck on the indesign documents at the moment. I have looked at various options, the most appropriate way I can see in the manuals to get content from one document to another is by duplicating. My understanding is to do this you have to target the text in the source document, duplicate it and then add it into a text frame on the target document. It's the targettting of the text and surrounding elements in the source document I'm battling with.
any ideas on how I go about this effectively?
Any help and advice appreciated!

The story so far...
I've added the code kindly provided by getZinger (thanks again!) and am now stuck on the next stage, . I've commented the code where I'm having problems, and essentially have two key issues to resolve:
1/ how I get the documents to be placed one after the other, avoiding the overlay I get on the first insertion page.
 (I am using a fixed value as an insert point as the template I'm using will always have inserts starting on page 3).
2/ how I access the pdf's I want to insert from a location other than C:\Users\Whoever\Documents\
try{
for(myCounter = app.documents.length; myCounter > 0; myCounter--){
app.documents.item(myCounter-1).close (SaveOptions.no);
myDocument = app.open(File("C:/.../template.indd"));
myPDFFiles = ["pdf1.pdf","pdf2.pdf","pdf3.pdf"];
insertPdf();
function insertPdf(){
//I've gone for a static number here as the datapage in the skeleton doc is page 3.
//This seems to result in some of the pages being placed on top of each other :-(
 var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(2);
 /*var myPageNames = new Array;
 //Get the names of the pages in the document
 for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;myCounter++){
 myPageNames.push(myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name);
 var myPDFSet = File("C:/Users/Simon/Desktop/Mexico.pdf");
 for(myIndex=0;myIndex<myPDFFiles.length;myIndex++){
 myPDFSet = File(myPDFFiles[myIndex])
 myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet);
 myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File("C:/.../test_insert.pdf"), false);
 myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
}catch(e) { myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no); }
function myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet){
var myPDFPage;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia;
var myCounter = 1;
var myBreak = false;
while(myBreak == false){
if(myCounter > 1){
myPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.after, myPage);
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
//the files seem to be automatically placed from C:\Users\Whoever\Documents
//I need to change this to accept a different file path somehow but I don't know how
//this is why the myPDFFiles array only has filenames at the moment
myPDFPage = myPage.place(File(myPDFSet), [0,0])[0];
if(myCounter == 1){
var myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
else{
if(myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == myFirstPage){
myPage.remove();
myBreak = true;
myCounter = myCounter + 1;
once again, thanks for taking the time to read this, any help greatly appreciated :-)

Consolidate Multiple Digitial Signatures into one Document

I have one document that I am sending out to multiple people at the same time. I need these people to digitally sign this document concurrently. Once they sign the document, it is sent back to me. Which causes me to have multiple copies of the same document, but with different signatures. I need to then consolidate these multiple documents into one document with all of the signatures. I've been attempting to do this with distributing the document and then merging the document but it is not working. Can someone please help?

Hi,
Acrobat does not support parallel signing where multiple people can concurrently sign one document. A document can only be signed sequentially where one person signs it and then sends it to the next person for signing. If you have one document that requires multiple signatures and you need all of the signatures on one page, then you have to work with just one copy. However, working with multiple copies of the document like you are doing now, you could consolidate each signed copy into a Portfolio. If for example you needed 10 signatures your Portfolio file would end up containing 10 individually signed copies of the same PDF file.
The bottom line is you cannot merge the signed files into a single pdf.
I hope this helps,
Steve
