MS Word and Table of content

[CB]

I use the BullZip PDF Printer (5.0.0.590) together with MS Word 2002 (XP).

How can I create a linked TOC (table of contents)?

I don't think that is possible.

But text which is marked as hyperlink (URL) in MS Word will be a link to an URL in the PDF document -> it works for external links.

For the TOC MS Work uses the hyperlink format too but is not linked in the created PDF document -> it works not for internal links ???

The links that you see working are the links recognized by your Adobe PDF Reader. There is nothing in the PDF document telling that it is a link. The PDF Printer translates the postscript created by a printer driver. There are no information in the postscript about hyperlinks and therefore I cannot create them as such.

Any hints are welcome

Thank you for your answer, now I know that MS Word creates no links. Do you know another way (for example with an other text-editor) to create linked PDF documents via BullZip PDF Printer?

Came across this thread looking to add a table of contents to an already existing document created from a template.
Thought I should share how I worked out to do it using some professional tools…

You need to go through your document, starting with the first element to include in your contents. Highlight the heading – or whatever you want to appear in the contents list – and click “Format” “Create new paragraph style from selection”. Then copy it and find the next heading. alt cmd V will copy the paragraph style (and probably capitalise the text)… continue through the doc. Then you can follow the instructions in this video and the TOC will pick up your paragraph style. You just need to check it in the inspector and it should create the contents…
