Script Extraction Table of Contents: Synchronize Page Numbers with Body Page Numbers?

Customers like to see the appearance of the catalog every time, but the page numbers and information are constantly changing.

I am helpless and can only repeat useless work.

 

In fact, the page numbers of the table of contents can be synchronized with the page numbers of the text.

① Create a new hyperlink for the source target: 'Anchor'.

② Insert Reference

 

But this is too much work, and our directory often has over 2000 entries, which is too unrealistic.

I don't understand why Adobe didn't add this feature to the directory?

 

Extract directories for specific character styles while establishing reference relationships.

Perhaps it can be implemented using scripts. Is there anyone who can help?

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

For example, our text reads as follows:

Title1

[A-1] My paragraph text 1

[A-2] My paragraph text 2

 

Title2

[B-1] My paragraph text 3

[B-2] My paragraph text 4

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

To extract the table of contents for the paragraph styles in Title1 2 and the character styles in [] while establishing page number hyperlinks

It can also extract director
