PDF Table of Contents is only generating "Sections" and not the "Pages" in the sections.

I recently created and generated PDF Output in my robohelp project. I got the TOC going for the PDF, but when I generate the Output for the PDF, only the "Sections" or "Books" appear in the TOC and *not the "Pages" when I view the Output. How do I get the "Pages" or "Topics" that are in my TOC to appear as well?

Now I don't understand again. What is not in Acrobat Reader?  The topics are in the PDF but not shown in the TOC?

I added the Pages in my PDF TOC in Robohelp. So they're there in my project. The Pages are just not showing up in Adobe Acrobat Viewer when I view the Output.

Check out my mock ups again that I made of the TOC. That is what I am seeing in Acrobat Reader.

Yes I followed you at that point but your later posts seemed to go against that.

 

OK, let's not post anymore today.

Egh? Please be more precise in the description. I thought I understood the issue but not now. The pages themselves or just missing in the TOC.

I'm using correct Robohelp terms here. You might be confusing yourself. Please read my comments with attention to detail, specifically the comments with my mock up TOC. It's exactly how I'm describing the issue.

Excuse me! You have managed to confuse both @Jeff_Coatsworth and myself. 

 

I've suggested where to look.

I believe this is the structure that you want.

If it is, go to https://www.grainge.org/demos/documentation/Documentation_Demo.zip and a window will open for you to save a demo RoboHelp 2022.6 project.

 

That has been created using defaults. First generate that to ensure you get the same result. Next, at one point you had a hunch your CSS could be the issue so apply your CSS to see if it makes any difference.

 

After that, go back to your project with the demo still open and compare every setting.

 

Let us know how you get on.
