Which Acrobat 9 product? Table of Contents & Index "jump" to page

I would like to create a document in Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac (version 12.1.0) that will have a table of contents as well as an index. When I convert this document into a PDF format, I would like the table of contents as well as the index to be "active", in that the user will be able to click on a topic or index reference, and then jump automatically to that page in the PDF document. The PDF document will be loaded on my website.
Which Adobe Acrobat 9 product will provide this functionality?
Thanks!

Margie,
There is not product that will do this for Microsoft word from Adobe on
a Mac. If MS Word 2008 has its own pdf capabilities, you might see if it
will do it on its own. BTW, there is only one Acrobat product on the
Mac---Acrobat Pro. There are several versions for Windows.

ERROR: product table of contents

Hi
During a solaris 8 Jumpstart install after the system hasve been identified I get the following error:
ERROR: the product distribution does not contain the product table of contents
Please help
Monica

I just had the same problem for a 2.7 jumpstart install. Turned out that there were a bunch of hidden directories and files on the CD that didn't get copied over. Stuff like .bbi, .cdtoc, .install_config and other crap. I copied those off the CD to my jumpstart directory and it worked fine.

Table of contents - title creates automatic page break

I want the title "Table of Contents" to appear above the automatically generated Table of Contents in pages. The TOC covers 3 pages (it's a long document) and I've formatted it and am happy. However, the title for the page which reads "Table of Contents" makes the TOC jump down to another page leaving the title on an otherwise blank page. I have tried re-typing the title, ensuring no page breaks are on the page. I've deleted the TOC and reinserted it at the appropriate place etc. But it keeps jumping down and starting on a new page. Any advice appreciated. I want to the keep the title "Table of Contents" on the same page as the table of contents themselves.

I am having the exact same issue. Long ToC (3 pages), but cannot place a simple headline above it. It automatically breaks the pages and starts on a new page. Any ideas people?
Please see the picture below. I cannot find a way to narrow down that gap between headline and ToC.
Cheers Phil

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

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 / Bookmarks Jump to Middle of Page Instead of Heading

I generated a Table of Contents in InDesign, but when I export to the PDF and click on either the actual text link in the table of contents or on the bookmark in the lefthand column, it jumps to the middle of the page that the article is on instead of to the heading. I want the bookmarks to go to the heading (as a text anchor) instead of to a page. Anyone know how to fix this?
FYI: I'm using CS3
Thanks!

Use PDF Maker and be sure you have the preferences set to create bookmarks from the style info.

Displaying pagenumbers in table of contents in the 2nd page of a smartform.

We have a requirement where we need to display "Table of contents" with headings and corresponding page numbers .The page numbers for the headings need to be picked up at run time.But the "Table of contents" is in the second page whereas the headings appear in the later pages.So it is difficult to display the respective page numbers.Can anybody give me a solution for this.

Hi.
Perhaps you could try this.
In the main window: When you print out the heading you can get the page number you are currently on. Save that number in a table/structure for each header.
Then on the second page you could have a "Late processing" window and print your headers with the page numbers you have stored in your table/structure.
I think this will work, or at least give you a clue on how to do it.

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.

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!

How do I remove the "Show" (Table of Contents) link from my page?

I am using Robohelp 7 and exporting to WebHelp to use on an internet page. When clicking the help icon from my internet page, I am displaying a specific page within my Robohelp content, and not including the Table of Contents. However, at the top of my rendered page, there is a "Show" link automatically being displayed. If you click that link, you then get the full Table of Contents. I do not want that "Show" link to be displayed at all. But I can't figure out where it is coming from.
This image shows the "Show" link (image also attached below):
This image shows the code showing the Show, but we don't know where it's coming from or how to get rid of it (image also attached below):

Hi there
In your Single Sourc Layout properties there is an option labeled "Show Navigation Link in Topics". You need to clear that option when you generate.

On Page 1 of the wizard, why are the Table of Contents, Index, and Glossary drop-downs grayed out?

RoboHelp HTML, RH7
Also, the Generate Adobe PDF option is grayed out.
Thanks,
Kerri

Hi there
In addition to what Peter advised, my own guess as to why they are disabled (grayed out) is probably because you don't have more than one defined? It would make sense that unless more than one of each was present, they would be unavailable.
Now if you *DO* have more than one of each defined, I'm at a loss to explain why they might be presented in a disabled state.

Table of contents will not show page numbers

I have a 1000+ page document which has a TOC which is broken upon installing Snow Leopard. There were no issues with it prior SL, anyway. The TOC is built correctly, according to Help and the Manual. What I get is a list of items for the TOC, but no page numbers. The page numbers should be checked to act as links. The odd thing is that when I highlight the TOC the place for the page numbers gets selected. So clearly there is something where the numbers should be, but it is not visible, nor is it clickable. Copying and pasting the TOC to TextEdit also shows the same thing--something's there, just not a page number.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
T

Hello
Here, under Snow 10.6.1, the TOC behaves well so you have something wrong on your system.
Check that you have installed the upgrade to Pages 4.0.2
Check that Pages (as well as Numbers and Keynote) are correctly stored in the Applications:iWork '09 folder
Quit/close the application(s)
Run Disk Utilities to repair permissions.
It would be interesting to run Coktail to repair several other system files but Coktail is not free.
Try to run Pages from an other user account. If it behave well from this one, we will know that the odddity is in your user account.
Drag the iWork preferences files on the desktop then restart the application(s)
Restart Pages.
If it behaves well, the problem was a corrupted preferences file.
Some problems where reported with fonts.
So it would be a good idea to disable third party fonts AND Hoefler Text.
But I assume that you don't use this one in your 1000 pages document.
After that, let us know the results.

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.
