Table of contents placeholder not working?

So far, everything is working well. I have my book about ready to go, but I need to customize the table of contents. There is a placeholder on each TOC page that as far as I can tell from the Help files, you can drop an image there. However, I can't seem to get it to work. Dropping anything there simple seems to place it on top of the placeholder, not "in" it. How is this done? or is it meant for something else?
Thanks.

My analysis on the Image Placeholder for the TOC page has resulted in the following conclusions.
You ARE able to include any image on each of the chapter pages in the TOC
In order for a chapter page in the TOC to have its own separate image, you must define one of your images in the Chapter Layout for that chapter to have a tag of "Main Image." If you do not have an image in your Chapter Layout defined as "Main Image," then you cannot drag an image into the Media Placeholder for that Chapter in the TOC.
To define an image with a "Main Image" tag
Select the Chapter Layout
Select an Image
Go to Layout tab in the Inspector
Select "Editable on Pages using this Layouy"
Set the tag to "Main Image"
The corresponding chapter page in the TOC will now have that image in the Media Placeholder
You are NOT limited to having the same image in your TOC that is on the Chapter Layout. You can now change the image in the Media Placeholder on that chapter page in the TOC by dragging an image on to it
Let me know if this works for everyone.
Cheers,
Jim

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 is not working in Pages 5.0?

I am attempting to find a solution to this TOC issue, in Pages 5.0:
The INSERT>TABLE OF CONTENTS sub-menu is grayed out.
I have formatted with custom styles and am using landscape format.
In the Pages '09 it looks so simple to insert a Table of Content.
Is this an incompatibility issue?

Hello pmpope,
The process for adding a Table of Contents in the new version of Pages has changed somewhat. The following article provides step-by-step directions for setting one up.

Table of Contents navigation not working

I am using Captivate 6. I have a separate TOC, with only 4 items. 'Self paced Learning' and 'Enable Navigation' are both checked. However, when I publish to SWF, or preview, the navigation does not work.
Due to IT team desktop image restrictions, I can only check this in IE8, using Flash 11.1.102.55.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same exact problem. I do not have the Navigate Visited Slides only option checked. I want the user to be able to just skip to a section. I've noticed it works to an extent, but easliy gets hung up. So if I click to a section, the project either gets stuck or it continues to play, but audio dissapears.

Why does InDesign interactives table of contents does not always work in page mode ?

I'm working on a large document (400 pages) made of 12 Indesign documents in a book. When I export the entire book in one interactive pdf file, some the elements from the interactive table of content do not work. When I export the file as «spread», everything works, when I export the file in «pages» some elements loose their interactivity.
I'm on CS6 on Mac.
(Sorry for my English)
Any solution anyone ?

Web Content Source - Not Working

Created a new web-content source & full crawled it.
When i searched with content text, not working.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that it did not work when you searched a new web site content source in SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the web site allows anonymous access to its content. If not, we need to configure a rule for the URL which allows us to enter the credential to access the content of site
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

TS1424 I purchased and downloaded a book in iBooks. I read about 16 chapters. The next time I opened the app to read the book, no words loaded on the pages. It would go to the table of contents, but not to pages in chapters. Any ideas?

Try to reset your phone, hold the home/sleep buttons until it reboots and the apple logo appears, don't release the buttons till apple logo appears. If no luck there, Resync the book. Or delete it and redownload it. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Display Content is Not working in BI 7.4

Hi All,
In BW 7.4, I am trying to display content via Mange Infoprovider. Till 7.3 the data used to show in the BW system itself.
Where as in 7.4 BW system display data redirecting to below URL and it’s calling a webdynpro APP called “rsdmdm_md_maintenance_app” as below URL
http://host:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/rsdmdm_md_maintenance_app?IOBJNM=ZDV_EMPID&sap-language=EN.
Bu this URL giving 500 Internet server error.
Can any one help with what I am missing here? In 7.4 is it possible to display content in BW system itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please review following SAP Note. The new behavior (WebDynpro based Master Data maintenance) is now standard since SAP BW 7.4 SP05. Old SAPGui based screen is not possible anymore.
The notes describes the SICF services you need to activate to make it work.
My understanding is that old SAPGui based screen could not handle certain newer data types. As per SAP the new feature has some good benefits such as copy/paster multiple lines from spreadsheet.
1997402 - Master data maintenance is not possible in old GUI based
one
1969105 - Master data maintenance for InfoObjects does not
start
517484
- Inactive services in the Internet Communication Framework
1969092 - Exception when launching master data maintenance for some
InfoObjects; additional option for navigating to application log
Hope this helps.
btw: I only found out this week hard way as we just did SAP BW 7.4 upgrade. :-)
Thank you with kind regards,
Satya,
Resolution
It’s not possible to switch to old GUI Based Master data maintenance. Incase
if new master data maintenance is not working please check:
Check if services as described in note 517484 is active
In transaction SICF activate services starting with RSDMDM*
Check if note 1969092 is implemented already.

Additionally the new UI has some advantages like editing values directly
within the tables, so it’s not required to edit the values one by one, or the
option to copy and paste values from a spreadsheet directly in to table.

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.

Table of contents file not taking book files into account

Hi everyone,
I've used Indesign's book panel to manage the chapters in a book that I've typeset. I set up the table of contents style (in a TOC document which is part of the books panel) and made sure that it used all the book chapters when compiling the table of contents by checking the option in the TOC styles diaglogue box.
For some reason, the table of contents is ignoring all of the styles in the chapter files so it's not including anything in the table of contents other than a few headings that are within the file that contains the table of contents.
I'm noticing that Indesign is creating a whole lot of duplicate files with a string of numbers appended to the file name, eg.
Newbook_Cha531549083577
These seem to duplicates of the chapter files but I have no idea why Indesign is creating them so I'm wondering whether I've got some corruption happening and whether this may be causing the problem with the table of contents.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if yes, is there any solution?
Really appreciate any advice.

Peter,
I'm having the same problem as gwh. The TOC won't go beyond the first document. All my style names are the same. I don't have style groups.
To make the book I began with one long document that included all the chapters. I broke it into chapters by copying and pasting into new .indd documents (each one created by Save As from the first) and adding all those documents to the book.
Generating the TOC from the one long .indd document works perfectly. I just can't get it to generate from the book (.indb) doc.
I have all the documents in the book open. I have the first one active (in front). I generate the TOC, and I get only the entries for the first document. Here's a screenshot of my TOC box. I must be missing something really simple, huh? (I'm using CS5)

Table of Contents will not export to PDF

CS3: I have an InDesign Book with 10 documents in it. The first document is the Table of Contents which was created using ID's TOC feature.
When I go to export that document to PDF, it acts like it's working, but the PDF is not made. There is no trace of a PDF in the folder.
If I delete the Table of Contents text the file will make a PDF.
If I try to export the entire book, the whole process just crashes.
I tried exporting the doc to .inx (which I was able to do) and make the PDF and the same thing happens.
Of course, this is a 300 page book and I'm on a deadline...
The book also has bookmarks and hyperlinks throughout -- not sure if that would cause a problem
Thanks for any thoughts! Jodi

Contents Links not working in ADE 2.0

Hi,
In ADE 2.0, links in the document are going to the wrong page. How can this be fixed?
In the original PDF and on ADE 1.7.2, these table of contents links work correctly. Now, the links go to the page before the correct page.
Any advice would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
RanaJ

Yet another bug in ADE2.0/2.0.1. I suggest (as I so often do) reinstalling 1.7.2.
~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Hi,
As the custom web part works well in other browsers, the issue may be related to the IE itself.
Have you tried the methods below?
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites->add the site into the zone
What’s more, you can also switch the Document mode to IE 10 or lower to check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason
