Illustration - take the following topic, which has Title test topic (1) and an h1 Heading 1 text (2):

 

 

Generating a Frameless output results in the Title (1) being displayed in the TOC:

Generating a PDF output, however, results in the H1 (2) being displayed in the TOC:

 

Is there a way to display (1) Title instead for PDF, as is the case with Frameless?

    I believe both PDF and Word have always used the Topic Heading rather than the Topic Title.

     

    In PDF, Word and online, what you see before the content it the heading. Online the title displays in the TOC because the online output is constructed of many files whereas PDF and Word are one file.

    What's the Table of Contrents look for the PDF output? I suspect that's where you define what's going to appear.
