Numbering Headings in the PDF output

RoboHelp HTML 6

To create the RoboHelp project, I imported a Word document, which created a topic for each heading. Now, besides HTML help, I want to generate printed documentation in PDF.

How can I create numbered headings (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.4 etc) in the PDF output?
I do not want to "hard code" these numbering in the headings itself in the HTML, because inserting a heading would result in manually updating all subsequent headings as well.

There is only one workaround:
- leave out the heading numbers in RoboHelp
- generate a Word first
- set the outline numbering, which numbers all headings as required
- update TOC manually in Word
- generate PDF
