Table of contents links that work in Professional don't work in Reader

I use Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 8.2.2 to create PDF
documents from Microsoft Word 2007 files. The main table of contnets, as well as mini-ToCs at
the beginning of each chapter, are linked to the section headi
ngs.
I've just discovered that the links no longer work when the documents are are opened in Reader Version 9.3.2.
Can you suggest a solution?

The topics and page numbers in the table of contents of a document are linked to the referenced headings. The links work when I test them with Acrobat Professional.
In Acrobat reader the links don't work.

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.

I am formatting an ebook and want to convert the doc. to an ePub with the Table of Contents links intact. Is there a way?

I have formatted an ebook in word and created a doc. I now need to also convert it into an ePub. I have downloaded the latest version of pages and am having difficulties trying to make the Table of Contents links work. The tabs in all the youtube videos out there are not showing up in this version. Please help!!!!

You might have more luck here.

Adding annotations throws off Table of Contents links

I asked this a month ago and got no responses...Help is critically needed. When annotations are added, the bookmarks seem OK on authoring machine, but once PDF is opened on another machine, everything thrown off!
I'm involved in a paperless pilot project and am having a difficult time circumventing an issue in Preview.
I'm re-formatting material for executive meetings from WordPerfect, Word, Excel and PowerPoint into bookmarked PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When they are opened in Preview by senior management on MacBook Airs, the Table of Contents links everywhere correctly. However, the moment they add an annotation (in this case, notes), the table of contents is thrown one page off, regardless of their place in the document. Even after removing the note, the table of contents does not revert to the proper place. I'm assuming this occurs because the annotation throws off the markers from the imported bookmarks.
Using Acrobat Reader on the Airs isn't an option since annotations aren't possible. We are also really trying to keep production of the PDFs limited to Acrobat Pro to ensure cross-platform compatibility of the Table of Contents.
Has anyone else encountered these issues? Is there a potential workaround?

A lightweight alternative to Acrobat Pro for creating table of contents for any PDF is PDFOutliner (only $5 on Mac App Store.) The TOC links generated by PDFOutliner don't have the problem you've described above. You could open your PDF in PDFOutliner and re-save it (the TOC will be rebuilt) for a quick test.
Note: I'm the developer of PDFOutliner.

The Table of Contents picks up selected named Styles in the text like Head 1, 2 etc.
Have you actually applied the styles?

Table of Contents links not working after conversion to PDF

I have created links in a MS Word 2007 document, including in a Table of Contents, a List of Tables, as well as internal cross-reference links. I have converted to a pdf file using Acrobat 9 Pro. All the links were retained except for the page links in the Table of Contents. Does anyone have any insight into how to correct this error?

MG,
You can get links to work in Numbers documents that have been converted to PDF, but it's quirky.
No links survive Printing to PDF
Links outside of tables (links in text boxes, etc.) survive Export in Sheet View
Links inside and outside tables survive export in Page View

Table of Contents links and hyperlinks lose accuracy in FP past 5 pages?

I've come up dry searching for any mention of this bug
anywhere.
We've got Word documents that have a table of contents (TOC
created dynamically in word, using the standard "Heading" style
method.) When we convert these to Flashpaper SWFs, about 50% of the
TOC links don't work - they go sort of nearby spots in the
document, but bring you to a spot off by half a page or more. The
links to spots in the first 4-5 pages work ok, but TOC links that
go deeper into the doc - from 5 to 20 pages in - those are off by a
half page to a page. The working TOC links in Word or in PDF
versions of the doc take you directly to the right spot.
The "outline" option in flashpaper also fails - the outline
links past 5 pages or so are innacurate just like the in-document
links.
According the the (scanty) documentation for Flashpaper,
Heading/Outlines, etc. are supposed to work fine and get converted
into the SWF.
I've already tried creating fresh example files, to make sure
it isn't a problem with sloppy Word formatting, extra Headings,
etc. - no dice. I still get TOC and outline links that fail to work
in many cases. They mostly fail for things that jump to spots after
5-6 pages into the doc. But if I convert these same docs to PDFs,
the PDF bookmarks and TOC links and hyperlinks work perfectly.
We've also tried using Hyperlinks in Word to create "pretend"
Table of Contents (not dynamic, but we're desperate), and we find
that those hyperlinks that go past 5 or 6 pages into the 20 page
doc lose their acuracy also - they are a half to a full page off.
We already tried the method of saving the word docs as HTML
then converting to FP(suggested within this board) but that did not
improve things.
Thanks in advance.
- Chris

We solved our issue. In our case we have Word 2007, but our
client is still on Word 2003 so our Word document was originally
created in Word 2007 and then converted by Word 2007 into the Word
2003 format. It appears that we were having these problems because
we were running Flashpaper on the coverted Word document. A
document converted this way is internally different than a document
created by the Word 2003 application.
To fix the problem we downloaded the Word 2003 application,
created a new Word 2003 document, copy and pasted the contents of
the converted Word document into the document created on Word 2003,
and then ran Flashpaper on the new Word 2003 document. Problem
solved.

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.

Making my table of contents link to the page within the ebook

I have a 40+ word document that I converted to pdf format, but lost the document internal links that was set up with the table of contents in Word. Can someone please help me figure out how to make the table of contents have the internal links again? I need this asap!!!!
Thank you!

If you have Acrobat Standard or Professional installed Adobe PDFMaker is available.
Use it to convert the Word file to PDF.
As there are specific "bands of compatibility" vis-a-vis an Office release and an Acrobat release you do want to ensure that the version of Acrobat used is compatible with the version of Office installed.
Properly configured (via the settings under the different tabs in the dialog) , Adobe PDFMaker will convert the Word file to a Tagged output PDF with the active links.
Tagged output PDF is needed for PDF ebooks that are to be used on eReaders as this facility is what supports reflow (needed for the smaller screen size, eh).
Oh yes, smaller, appropriate page size helps too (but I'd guess you've got that already).
Regarding Acrobat (PDFMaker) compatibility ... See:

Table of Contents Linking in iOS Pages ?

I'm in the process of creating a Pages file [on my MacPro], consisting of song lyrics, leadsheets, etc.
The file will be used on my iPad2, which will be placed on a music stand for live performance.
I've set up a table of contents [on my MacPro], and each entry links to a specific page [a song] within the document.
I've transferred the file to my iPad2
When I attempt to use the file in iOS Pages, the links are not present.
The document is currently over 100 pages, so scrolling to go to another page is too time consuming and awkward for live oerformance.
Does a linking feature in iOS Pages? Is there a workaround?
If not, this should be implemented. Specifically, it makes sense as an iPad feature.
Thanks!

Hi,
Something else that you can try, although it really depends on your usage of the Pages document, you can export the Pages file as an ePub and import it to your iBook app.
The TOC should be working in the iBook, it gives you a great way to read the information although you can't edit.
Hope that helps

Table of contents in Pages - can't get it to work

Tried creating a Table of Contents in pages
Marked my headlines, changed them into title, heading and subheading.
When everything needed was changed into proper format, I wanted to insert the table of contents from the menu. I get the error message, that no text is formatted in the correct way and therefore my table of contents can't be created.
I previously used MS Office - and creating a table of contents works in the same way. I have read the users guide for Pages, trying to figure out what I've done wrong - but it didn't work out.
If anybody could solve this peace of mystery I'll be very thankful
Maria

Hi Terry,
you helped Maria so well. Maybe you can help me aswell ... I just started using Pages (trial version) and have used MS Office before that. I want to create a TOC based on styles that are numbered as follows: 1. heading 1
1.1. heading 2
1.1.1. heading 3
1.1.1.1. heading 4 asf.
If I create a numbered style it will only have 1. and no further level (is that the right word? I'm German, sorry!). If I create a style from a numbered list (where it is possible to have different levels) I can create a TOC but have to format that completely aswell (the TOC doesn't have the format of the headings, in particular the numbers are gone and also the format). In MS Word it seems to be much easier. Here I create a style (heading 1, 2, 3, etc.) and can asign numbers and levels to the headings. The TOC shows the exact same format as the headings in the document. How can this be achieved in Pages? Apple should actually do better then MS, shouldn't it?!

Display of Table Of Contents, links, diagrams etc....

Hi,
My Table Of Contents and other stuffs like diagrams, links etc.... are not getting displayed properly in my Woord files and are being shown as below:
{ EMBED Visio.Drawing.11 } - this is for a Visio drawing that I have in a file.
{ TOC \o "2-3" \h \z \t "Heading 1,1,Heading 4,4" } - This is for Table Of Contents.
{ HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]" } - This is for a mail address that I have in my word file.
I want to remove all these and go back to the normal way of storing a Word file without any of the above ones.
Please advise how this can be changed back to normal viewing of Word files.
Thanks....Karthik.

Alt-F9 should display the field results rather than the field codes that you are currently seeing.

Table of contents link on same page

Hello,
I need some advice here. I have seen this done on the web before but not sure if iWeb does it.
What I am looking to do is have a list or table of contents at the top of a webpage. I would like it if somehow a particular topic could be clicked and this would take the visitor somewhere farther down the page to the appropriate content.
In other words....kinda like making a link on the same page.
here is the page w/ what I am trying to do:
http://web.mac.com/abenningfield/iWeb/CameraObscura/Lightbox.html
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) http://www.the-camera-obscura.com

Ariane,
Hi there. No didn't get it to work. Basically.....I have so much/many iweb aspects I am working on I get a little caught up in different areas. So I just filed the Anchor topic away at present and will get back to it later.
I am interested to see your outcome.....
Please keep me posted. I really wanna try this in the near future.
The tips are good....I just haven't had the time yet.
PS: if you figure it out...you should write up a step by step......maybe make an article or tutorial
Edit: Varkgirl is right and if you haven't tried this......good point to keep in mind!
