Stylesheet for PDF TOC?

Hi y'all,

I'm using RoboHelp 2020.4.173 and I'm trying to match the style of our InDesign-generated PDFs when using a RH Output Preset for PDF. The one thing that's being stubborn is the line spacing for the ToC. I can't for the life of me find where those styles are defined and how to change them.

In my search through this forum, I found references to a p.pdf-toc class, and I've added that to my .css (the same one used by the master page), but no matter what change I make to that class (such as color: #9012fe;), the ToC does not change.

Where do I set up styles that affect the ToC?

Thanks for your help!

      Create a new blank temp project, and that should auto-create a pdf.css file. That should include all the pdf styles you need. You can either add the styles to your stylesheet or use the pdf.css for your pdf output. I haven't used the New UI method yet, so can't comment on what would be best. You could check if the About Robohelp project provides further information (you should find it in Documents/My Robohelp Projects. But if not, you can copy and paste a fresh copy from in the Adobe Robohelp installation folders.)

      I've created a ticket to be able to add the pdf styles without having to create a new cssproject. (It's not real obvious, right? 🙂  ) Feel free to vote on it to boost the priority.
