You may want to conveniently create a table of contents (TOC) from existing bookmarks for a hierarchy structure when viewing a PDF file. Foxit PDF Editor offers two ways to create a table of contents. The new TOC page will be inserted in the beginning of the PDF.
- To create a TOC page when merging multiple files into a single PDF file, please refer to the instructions in Convert and combine multiple files into a single PDF.
To create a table of contents in a current PDF, please select New TOC from bookmarks from the Options menu
at the top of the Bookmarks panel. In the pop-up Add a new content of table dialog box, do the following:1) Specify the text style for the title (i.e., “Table of Contents”) and the content of the TOC.
2) Select the orientation of the TOC pages. If you choose Auto portrait/landscape, the orientation of the generated TOC pages will be the same as the first page of the original PDF document.
3) Select the bookmark levels you want converted and click OK. Then the TOC will be created from the bookmarks of the current PDF, displaying a hierarchy of headings and their corresponding page numbers in the PDF. Heading levels are based on the bookmark hierarchy, with the second and lower level headings indented.If you select Convert all bookmark level into items in the table of contents, the entire hierarchy of bookmarks will be converted to the headings of TOC, but the tenth and lower level headings are not indented.
