The PDF 'Table of Contents'

Contents

A 'Table of Contents' (TOC) may be created when exporting a file to PDF or PDF/A. The strings to be listed in the TOC are supplied by fields selected on the PDF page of the Fields dialog, see To set up a TOC below.

Once set up, you may choose whether to include a 'Table of Contents' when the document is exported, or not: see Switching a TOC on and off below.

1.	Select Edit... from the 'Fields' menu or press Ctrl D.

2.	Select the PDF tab of the Field dialog (you may need to scroll the tabs to the right to bring the tab into view).

3.	Click a field in the tree that you want to put in the TOC then tick Include field in PDF table of contents. Repeat for each field that is to be listed in the TOC.

4.	Click OK. See also Switching a TOC on and off, below.

Tip: You may also set up a TOC via the Configuration dialog (either directly or on Export) by means of the Contents... button: see PDF export options.

1.	In the Field dialog (Ctrl D), click the PDF tab (you may need to scroll the tabs to the right to bring the tab into view).

2.	Click a field in the tree which you want to edit.

3.	Select Include field in PDF table of contents to add the field to the TOC or Deselect 'Include field in PDF table of contents' to remove it.

Click OK.

When you export a document in PDF or PDF/A format which has a Table of Contents already set up, the default is to export the TOC too. To export the document without the TOC:

1.	Select Configuration... from the 'Options' menu or press F8.

2.	Select PDF document or PDF/A document as the Output Format.

3.	Click Options... then More....

4.	Select Do not make a Table of Contents. The TOC set-up is retained but not exported on this occasion.

To revert to exporting the TOC with the PDF (or PDF/A) file:

1.	Select Configuration... from the 'Options' menu or press F8.

2.	Select PDF document or PDF/A document as the Output Format.

3.	Click Options... then More....

4.	Deselect 'Do not make a Table of Contents'.

Click OK.

Alternatively you may switch 'Do not make a Table of Contents' on and off via the Export dialog: click PDF options... to bring up the Configuration dialog then click the More... button.
