How to Get Rid of mini TOC Before Individual Sections in PDF Output

[Cheri677]

Hi all, 

I'm using version 2022.4.179.

I'm new to RH and am popping on with what is likely a dumb question. When I produce PDF output with the High-Tech template, I'd like just one main TOC in the front matter. That overarching TOC generates just fine, but the problem is that before each section, or chapter, there is a mini Chapter TOC of the section's contents. I don't want that for this project--just the main TOC page. 

Is there a way to get rid of the smaller TOCs preceding chapters in PDF output? I can't figure out the right setting! 

Thanks all. Any help is appreciated!

Are the mini-TOCs present in the topics themselves?

[Cheri677]

No, it looks like RoboHelp is just pulling from the Sections in my book TOC to generate the chapter TOCs in output. 

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

I suspect that you'll need to create a new TOC to use only for PDF generation that doesn't include the extra stuff.

See Peter's site on this? https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/toc_index_glossary/toc.htm#whychange

@Jeff_Coatsworth pretty sure it can be removed.

@Cheri677 Look in the template pages. I will look later.

PDF Template page - https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/outputs/pdf_templates.htm right?

Thank you both for your help, @Jeff_Coatsworth @Peter Grainge.

I've been focusing my efforts on the PDF template pages, yes! I just can't find the right setting/combination of settings, but I'll keep at it.

Fell free to post screenshots of what you've got and what you see in the PDF - that might spark something...

Try removing it here.

I had just tried editing this section in the html editor, and it works! If others run into the same issue, note that there isn't really a way to eliminate the chapter TOCs in the wysiwyg editor, but just delete the appropriate code here. Thanks, Peter!  

[Peter Grainge]

Yes there is.

Click in the mini TOC. Right click the breadcrumb and select Delete. Quite a few things in RoboHelp require clicking the breadcrumbs.
