Table of contents using cfdocument

Good day,
I've been trying to create a table of contents using
cfdocument. I've been unsuccessful in extracting the page number
out of the document. I know they are reserved for that scope, but
i've tried copying the value into an application variable and
accessing it on a different page to no avail. I've tried to
increment a basic counter, can't seem to get that to work either.
If anyone has any experience in this, please help me out.

I'm not sure you understood my post. I was able to do exactly as you did -- create a master page with a frame and the section marker character (which shows as "section" on the master page) and then add the actual marker text in the numbering and section options. The correct text appears on the live document page.
When I tried to make a TOC the text was not picked up UNTIL I selected and overrode that master frame onto the document page (Ctrl + Shift + Click on Windows or Cmd + Shift + Click on Mac on the frame you want to override). Once overridden, the text appeared as expected in the TOC.
You are correct about the page number for that page. You can use a different master without a page number, or you can override and delete the number frame from the master page. I presume you will either use a different master for the first page and following pages of any section to avoid having the marker appear on all pages, or you can override only the first page so that you don't repeat entries in the TOC for every page in each section. If you are using the Section Marker as a running header you might want to read about Running Header Variables in the Help files instead. In many ways the use of a variable might be simpler and more straightforward.

Hi Vivek,
To you may create on demand sub report.

How to create a Table of Contents using Pages 09?

Hi guys,
I have little problems creating a Table of Contents in Pages, though it seems quite simple. I'm working with the template 'Term Paper' and I use paragraph styles (Title, Heading I, II, etc.). I have some very long documents (about 80 pages long) so I wanted to create a TOC (using sections) but it says:
The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document.
When I compare the paragraph styles I do use and the paragraph styles in the Document Inspector, they match. So I'm a bit upset about this because I really need to use this great feature!
Thanks for you answers guys!

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

Can you generate a Table of Contents using bookmarks?

Hi,
I am a newbie to InDesign and am probably missing the obvious but...
I am creating a document in InDesign and want to generate a Table of Contents. I have just created a de facto ToC with Bookmarks for the exported PDF version of the file, but there seems to be no way to take this information and use it to creat an actual ToC in the ID file itself. My bookmark list contains the information for all the chapter and sub headings along with the page locations, all the data I need to create my ToC, but I can't find a way to do this. I don't understand why I have to use paragraph styles to set this up? It is overly complicated for my needs, added to that it is duplicating my work. If I have to set up paragraph styles for the print version and bookmarks for the PDF version, why can't one set of information be used to generate both version of a Toc?

You don't consider 100 pages a long doc? Ouch. If it needs a TOC, I'd say that's pretty definitive for it being long.
I know users who set up styles for even one-page projects. I figure it's worth setting up a style for any formatting that will repeat more than twice, regardless of document length. It's pretty fast using the format/select/define style method of formatting text the way you want, then selecting it and choosing "New Style" from the appropriate panel.

Generating a PDF Table of Contents Using DDX - DDX puts the string "cover" in all caps

When using DDX to generate a table of contents for a PDF, I discovered that DDX puts the string "cover" in all caps. For example, the item:
<PDF source="something" bookmarkTitle="Hard Drive Recovery"/>
will result in the table of contents entry "Hard Drive ReCOVERy".
Does anyone know of a way to prevent or work around this?
Thanks,
-- Matt

I am curious about this, mainly because, for me, the 'bookmarkTitle' attribute causes an error when the DDX is assembled.
I have CF9.0.1 running on Windows 7 but this also happened on CF9.0
and you ?

Do I need Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat in order to make a Table of Content to an existing PDF

Dear colleagues at this forum,
This is my question, i have a big PDF file, 341 pages, another 500 pages, I want to make a table of content, and I read that this Program Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat does provide this solution, which allows you to quickly build a table of content, however the program is expensive at close to five hundred dollars, i wonder why has not Acrobat Professional put this service included in the program, if one can make a solution of Table of Content and Index, this would be great. Does Acrobat have this function already or do you think that I must buy this program. Yes one can make a table of contents using word program then entering it to the PDF file and linking each line of the table of contents with the relevant page, but this would take a long time, and the solution provided by Debenu sounds like good. I am looking for your advice as i do not know much in this field.
Best regards,
Bachar

Acrobat does not have this built in. Normally, the table of contents is prepared at the same time as the document, perhaps in Word, which will use heading styles to do it automatically. Then this is converted to PDF. It is very unusual to do this work late with a PDF, I guess this is why it is not a core Acrobat feature.

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,
Matt

Can Adobe automatically create a table of contents for a document and if
so how is that generated?
Adobe will not create table of contents for you.

Table of Content with page number for entire pdf

Hi
We need to merge dynamic pdf with n number of static pdf.
The output of the generated pdf has one of the page called Table Of Content with page number.
For this we have created following process
We created a form using Adobe livecycle form designer to populates input data(xml).
We created process to generate dynamic pdf .
We have static pdf's in some folder location(Eg:C:\temp)
We created xsl to generate DDX to merge Dynamic pdf with static pdf's by using an assembler operation in the Process
There are number of static specification pdf's inserted in between of dynamic pdf using logic in xsl.
We used bookmark option in xsl for creating table of content .
While invoking the process we are able to generate the correct merged pdf with some unformatted page of table of content
We can explain better in the following way where we are actually facing a challenge:
We need a table of content in the below mentioned format:
                                                                                                             PAGE

MAIN DESCRIPTION2                                                                              n
ID3            NAME3            DESCRIPTION   5                                               m

Since the pdf merging and numbering is done using ddx at runtime, page number tag is not there in xml and therefore the toc page cannot be populated at the time of form design.
The issue we are facing is that, by using ddx script we are not able to align id,name,description in table of content in proper manner. We want to wrap particular id ,name and description in their respective columns.
Currently, we are getting the below mentioned result which is not in a proper format.
                                                                                                           PAGE

ID3            NAME3            DESCRIPTION   3                                             m
Note: Page numbering has been done only after merging all the pdf(Dynamic and static) using ddx instead of the adobe livecycle form designer.
Is there any solution to resolve the formatting issue or any other option to create table of content dynamically ?

Hi SaCvP,
According to your description, you want to display the table of contents with page number in SSRS 2014.
In Reporting Services, the global variable PageNumber or Totalpages can be only used in the page header and page footer. In your scenario, you can create a table of content using document map, but we can’t specify the expression with PageNumber or Totalpages.
So your requirement can’t be achieved currently.

How do I include the heading of the table of contents in the table of contents?

I am preparing a table of contents in InDesign CS3 (Macintosh OSX 10.5.8)
I have added all the paragraph styles to the list of paragraph styles I want to appear in my Table of Contents.
However, I would also like the table of contents itself to appear in the table of contents:
In case the table of contents is placed on page 3, it want it to look like this
Table of contents:
Title page....page 1
Acknowledgements...page 2
Table of contents ...page 3
Table of figure...page 6
Chapter 1...page 10
and so on..
I have included the paragraph style in the list of paragraph styles I want have appearing in my table of contents. But this does not result in an entry in my table of contents that is named 'table of contents'.
I would be grateful for any kind of advice.
Thanks in advance

To do that add a non-printing frame on Page 3 and add the words Table of Contents using one of your styles that gets picked up.

Table of contents not linking correctly

Hi, I created a table of contents using a header I created called Chapter Titles. It formatted everything correctly and lists the correct page numbers next to it. The only problem is that when I click on the numbers it sends me to the previous chapter. For example if I click on a chapter that says it starts of page 7, it brings me to the chapter before that is actually on page 3.

Very odd!
Seems Pages 5 all you do is chase rabbits down rabbit holes.
I like being able to do T.O.C.s for every section but with all the other downgrades in Pages 5 it isn't worth fighting.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder and just works, much better than its "upgrade".
Wait for Pages 5 to get out of beta and rate/review it in the App Store.

Manipulate table of contents results

Hi everyone,
Within each chapter of a book I’m working on, there are level 1 headings that look like the following:
¶5-100 Context
So each of these headings has a paragraph number, ie. ¶5-100 and then the name of the heading, ie. Context. There’s a tab between the para number and the content of the heading.
I need to create a specific chapter by chapter table of contents using the content of these level 1 headings. The information will be located at the start of each chapter.
It’s easy enough to do but when the TOC is genereated I get the following effect:
¶5-100 Context [tab]    page number
¶5-120 next heading   [tab]   page number
¶5-140 next heading   [tab]   page number
¶5-160 next heading   [tab]   page number
I don’t need the page numbers at all and instead of the above, I need the following result:
Context [tab] ¶5-100
next heading [tab] ¶5-120
next heading [tab] ¶5-140
next heading [tab] ¶5-160
Once I have the above effect, I would then go ahead and create cross references where the para numbers within the TOC are the source of the Xref and the destination is the relevant heading within the body of the chapter.
So is there a way to manipulate the results so that the headings appear as the above? I know it probably can’t be done but just thought I’d ask incase I’m missing something.
Appreciate any help.

b. Use this Nested Style:
[None] through 1 [Tab Characters]
yourStyle up to 5 [Words]
(The latter number is because I'm not sure how InDesign counts 'words'. There doesn't seem to be a "Up to End Of Line" code.)
When I want to run a nested style up to the end of a paragraph in a situation like this I often just tell it to run up to an end nested character style marker and don't insert one. You can use any character that isn't encountered and the nested style will run to the end of the paragraph. In this particular case you could also "swap" the formatting and define the paragraph style the way you want the numbers to look, then apply a nested style through 1 tab to change the text ahead of it, then there's no need for a "none."

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? I opened it while reading one book I had checked out from my library, but it is still open when I start another book. I am using Adobe 4 and Windows 8.1 on my PC.

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? It has remained open since I opened it while reading two books ago. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

How to produce a table of contents by using view

How to produce a table of contents by using view

I dont understand what u want to know, just give an example ! !

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"
