Table of contents in the pdf documentation

Hi folks,
It is me again, hehe.
I tried to do a pdf printed documentation for an already
existing RoboHelp project, and the points in the TOC are totally
weird. Weird in what sense? I have the major points of the content
mentioned briefly, or not at all, though they are in the normal
TOC, however the topic "Licence agreement" is detailed point by
point, and I do not need that.
My question is, does anybody know where the content of the
TOC in the pdf printed documentation could be configured?
Everything now is working nice and dandy besides that small
thing, and I would like to have it straightened out.
Thank you guys,
Bogdan

This is what I also thought, however whenever I was trying to
do the documentation in pdf, I was getting a short TOC with an
overemphasis on the licence agreement, which I do not remember
asking for.
I tried to find where I could control that, and I did not
find anything, so I posted this issue in the forum waiting for
someone to give me some hints.
As I was experimenting further more, I thought about the .doc
where I can modify the TOC easily as I have the Office installed on
my system.
As I was trying that, I forgot to remove the checkmark from
the "create pdf" and I got both the doc as well as the pdf
documentations. To my surprise I found out that both documents,
being identical in content, were showing more in the TOC as my
previous pdf was, though I did not change anything in the settings,
because I did not find anything to change.
So, I opted for creating the doc, modify the TOC (it still
has an overemphasis on the licence agreement, however I have enough
emphasis on the other topics now), and export the doc to pdf.
That would be the whole story.
Bogdan

    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...

  • 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.......

  • Creating a table of contents in a pdf

    Hi all,
    I'm using the API to create a large pdf i.e a bundle of quotes. Since I'm using the FOPRocessor(InputStrreams[],Templates[]) to create the PDF, I was wondering if there is a way to create a table of contents using the Outlineprocessor or do I need to create a pdf binder? If so, what does the xml input look like. Using my example <Quote> would be the only requirement that I need to list the contents.The Api documentation is a little light in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    The Table of Contents (TOC) has to be in front of the Chapters it create a TOC from. There is a work around this, but do it first after you have finished the document because you'll loose the automatic update of the TOC.
    Thank you for your attempt to help.
    With TextEdit I loose the formatting of the TOC.
    I found another workaround, I made a printing of the TOC and saved it
    as PDF and included it within an empty page. But this method isn't
    really a simple workaround.
    The conclusion is that there isn't any easy way to place a TOC
    where you want.

    Hi meatmailbox,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to backup your iTunes library is to an external hard drive.  The article below will explain how to do this.   If you want the files on a CD or DVD, you would need to create playlists.  I'll include that information as well.

  • Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

    I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
    Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
    Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
    Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
    You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

  • How to get data from pdf file and send contents  of the pdf file to R/3

    Hi, experts,
    Action:
    1. Make a pdf forms (interactive form) with inputfield named “A_inputfield” in the webdynpro application and run the webdynpro application.
    2. In the IE, click the save button in the pdf interactive form and save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk. Close the IE browser.
    3. Open the pdf interactive form from the local C disk and type "aaa" to the “A_inputfield”.
    4. I want to save the "aaa" to the R/3 system using webdynpro or using other tools . How can I do it?
    First way:
    If I use webdynpro application to save the content of the pdf, I don't find a way mapping or binding the content to a context of a view. So I don't think this way is unadvisable.
    Second way:
    Adding a button "submit" in the pdf forms when create the pdf form. Runing the webdynpro application, save the pdf to local disk,ex: C disk.  Opening the pdf interactive form from the local c disk and typing "aaa" to the “A_inputfield”, click the  "submit" button to save the content. Of course, I need to finish the code for clicking "submit" button. But I don't know how  to write these codes and where to write these codes. Do you give me some advise ?

  • 'Table of Contents' structure: the navigational and the within document

    Hi.
    Here are screenshots of the example of how I would like to structure my Table of Contents for my ebook.
    screenshot1 is the .indd.  It shows the Table of Contents settings and paragraph styles used.
    screenshot2 is the .epub.  It is the result after export.
    In my actual .indd, I have been able to get the structure to look like the .epub screenshot.
    I want to have the nested - pop-down ability to save space.
    This is what is going on.
    In the .epub (ADE), if I click on  'chapter 1' in the Left Frame of the ebook Window,
    it just brings me to the same exact words within the context of the ebook - page 2.
    Page 2 of the ebook has this 'Table of Contents'.
    From there, (In my actual ebook), 'chapter 1' is a HYPERLINK.
    I must click THAT HYPERLINK to actually get to the desired location in the ebook.
    This means that I have to click 2x to get to the location.
    I am NOT totally clear about this.
    Does anyone feel that they have a great way to describe this.
    Objective 1:  click on 'chapter 1' from the left frame in the ebook and get to the desired location.
    Objective 2:  click on 'chapter 1' from within the content of the ebook and get to the desired location.
    That means, (from what I have read and watched) I am using a
    1. Navigational Table of Contents in the left frame.
    2. Standard Table of Contents from within the actual content of the ebook.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I would need more details from you. Which version of InDesign are you using? Have you tried opening the same EPUB in any other reader like Readium or iBooks? If yes, is the behavior same in these readers or different?
    Since I am not able to reproduce this issue at my end, test files (InDesign documents as well as the EPUB) would be helpful. Would it be possible for you to share them with us? You can upload the files to drop box and share the link with me. (email: [email protected])

  • How to implement Search content of the PDF In Windows Store apps

    Hi,
    I Have Rendered PDF in Windows Store apps .I am not able to Search the Content of the PDF .Please Suggest me best Solution 
    Thanks
    m venkatasuresh

    You'll need to either interpret  the PDF file yourself or find a 3rd party PDF component.
    The in-box PDF renderer produces a non-searchable image rather than text (I suppose you could
    OCR the rendered image, but that's a pretty ugly solution)

  • 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 do I add a table of contents to a PDF document created through iBooks?

    I've been working on a iBook for a while for work and it functions great on an iPad. However, when I publish it as a PDF there is no table of contents. Is there a way to have the table of contents displayed automatically for the book? I dont mind if it's just a table of contents list like in a Word document, but the PDF file is very difficult if it's over 800 pages with no table of contents.

    Update on what I did:
    So instead of having an automatically generated template, I created a table of contents for each section on the chapter title slide. This table has 3 columns, Section, Topic and Page and then I use that as a reference guide for users who only use the PDF version of the document. There is no way to have interactive reference links in table elements in iBook but it suits the purpose well.

  • How to create a table of contents in a PDF

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to use preview in order to create a table of contents. This would make it easier for me to find my way around my PDF files.
    Thanks

    Preview cannot do this - it is not a PDF editing utility. If you have the original document in an editable format (eg a Pages, or Word document) then you can edit it, print it, and from the print dialogue, save as a PDF. Otherwise you'll need the full Adobe product or similar to acheive what you want.
