I have succesfully created a PDF of my Robohelp project, is there anyway I can create an index (similar to the table of contents)? I can, within Adobe view the bookmarks, but this isn't an index.

    Hi there, 

    what version of RH are you using? If it is RH2020 new UI, you first have to create an index within your project. Then, you can add an Index page to your TOC under Backmatter topcis. The result will look as follows by default, but of course you can also add a master page or adjust the styles using the css.

    Hope this helps!

    Best regards

    You haven't said which version of RoboHelp you are using. 

    • If you are using a Classic version please go to File Help > About and confirm the version shown. If it is 2019 Classic, please add "Classic" when advising the version number.
    • If you are using the New UI, the version number will  be found in Help > About. Please add "New UI" if the version number starts 2019.

    Please always include that in a new thread.

     

    When you create a PDF depending on what is viewed in you should be able to click an icon. Although the icon shows Bookmarks when hovered over, it shows your TOC so what the user sees depends on how you have structured your TOC.

     

     

    The TOC and Index are very different, In 2020 your TOC can include an index in Back Matter.
