 these steps below to make a table of contents. Unfortunately, Adobe Acrobat doesn't allow you to directly make a table of contents, but you can still use a Word document and convert it into a PDF.
- Copy and paste the major headings and subheadings from your current PDF in Adobe into Microsoft Word. You can also use another word processing program as long as they can save files into PDFs.
- Choose the formatting you want or add images if you're going to include them.
- Click "Save As" and then choose PDF from the drop-down menu. Then, make sure to click "Save" again.
- Open Adobe and open the ODF document you are working with. Click "Insert Page from Another File." Find the table of contents you just made and choose "Open."
- Now click "Location" from the drop-down box and choose "Before." Now Click "First" and then "Ok." It might take a few moments for the PDF to be added.
- Choose "Tools" and then "Content Editing." Now click "Add or Edit Link."
- Draw a rectangle over the first heading in the table of contents. A dialog box should open around it.
- Choose "Invisible Rectangle" and then "Go to Page View." Click "Next."
- On the left, you should see a list of the pages. Choose the one you want the link to go to. Click "Set Link." Repeat this step for each heading or link you need to make.
While you might think that adding a table of contents is hard since PDFs can't be edited, you can see that adding the information into a word document is very easy. You can then resave it as a PDF once you're done, and it will have the completed table of contents. Some users also like to put the table of contents back into Adobe Acrobat if they aren't done with the file and want to make more edits before the final save.
Either way, making the table of contents in a word document is an easy and efficient way to make your document easier to read and easier to navigate.
