How to Create a Table of Contents

A Table of Contents (TOC) helps users quickly navigate through a PDF document by listing the major sections and their page locations. To generate a TOC, you must properly structure your document using heading types such as H1, H2, H3, etc.


Steps to Set Up a Table of Contents


Step 1: Apply Heading Types


Assign heading types to the main sections of your document using H1, H2, H3, or other heading levels. The text type can be selected on the main toolbar next to the font style.

Step 2: Add a Table of Contents


To add a Table of Contents, right-click on the page and hover over Add Table of Contents. Then select the option to insert the TOC either before or after the current page. The TOC will be generated from all headings once the PDF is generated.


Adding a Table of Contents


ℹ️ To remove a Table of Contents, right-click on the page containing the TOC and select Remove Table of Contents.


After the PDF is generated, the document will include a dedicated Table of Contents page. Each TOC item is clickable and allows readers to navigate directly to the corresponding section in the document. In addition, bookmarks based on the document headings will be available in the PDF sidebar for easier navigation.
