Every time you edit one of the documents you need to repeat the process to get a new TOC. Quite honestly, that approach is a lot of work, and it isn't terribly flexible.

As you do this, the new document gets larger and larger (of course), but when completed you can easily add a TOC to the beginning of the document.

You would open each of these files, in turn, press Ctrl+A to select everything in the file, switch to the new document, and press Ctrl+V. Let's say that you have a series of documents named Chap01, Chap02, Chap03, and on through Chap32. The first approach is to simply create a new document and then copy the contents of each of your files into that new document, in the proper order. I'll quickly describe two of the approaches and then spend a bit more time on the third. There are actually three ways to go about this. He wonders if there is a way to create a Table of Contents that actually spans multiple documents. Acrobat can take HTML pages (websites) and build the bookmarks.Francis has multiple documents that, for the purposes of a Table of Contents, he needs to treat as a single document. Other file types depend on how they get converted to PDF.

If you're using Notepad and PDFCreator to "Print to PDF", it's not going to work. If your source document has a TOC that's linked to the destinations within the document and you use some sort of PDF export that knows how to use that information, then it can create a PDF with your TOC linked internally.įor example, if you use Word, and create a TOC in your doc that works, then use it's native Save As PDF feature (or Acrobat's PDF Maker, or PDF-T-Maker), then it will create all those bookmarks for you. The bookmarks and TOC are going to be dependent on the application that you write your document in, and how it gets converted to a PDF. It can be done in theory, but practically you'll be creating your document in another program/format like Word, OpenOffice, TeX, DocBook, or HTML then converting it to PDF later. First of all, one doesn't "write a book in PDF format." PDFs aren't generally made to be editable at that level.
