I need to generate PDF documents with a PDF table of contents from Microsoft Word 2011. The PDF table of contents can for example be viewed in Preview using View -> Table of Contents.
Create an index in a Word document by selecting the text you want to use as an index entry, and then. Newer versions Office 2011. In the Index dialog box, you can choose the format for text entries, page numbers, tabs, and other characters. Build an index by using a custom index design. Create a table of contents.
This works well on my Windows machine. I just: • Select Save As > PDF • Click Options • Check the Create Bookmarks using headings check box. But on Mac OS X this option is not available.
This has been asked multiple times before, for example on SuperUser, but the only solution is to use the Windows version of Word, or using online tools like. Word:Mac uses OS X's built-in PDF creator. Word for Windows either uses Adobe's PDF creator or its own (depending on which version of Word for Windows you're using), which is why the functionality is different between the two applications. OS X's built-in PDF creator doesn't do what you want.

If you have a license for Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader, but the full Acrobat), you can use Adobe's PDF creator. Another option which others have reported having success with (and which doesn't require an expensive Acrobat license) is this: • Save your Word document to your computer. • Upload your Word document to Google Drive. Do NOT convert it to another format when you upload.
• Get the OpenAsPDF app. Its a Google Drive App. • Open your Word document with OpenAsPDF app. • Use the Save As dialogue to save back to your computer. • Before saving, change the extension to.pdf.
I found an answer on another site that worked for me! If you have access to One Drive (which you should with an Office 365 subscription), do the following: • Upload your file there • Open it in the online Word viewer • File > Save As > Download as PDF. Then your file will download with the table of contents intact on the PDF! The online PDF creation was a bit janky, it didn't work the first few times that I tried, so I hit File > Save As > Download a Copy, which downloaded it as a Word doc, then I tried Download as PDF and it worked!
I’ve had a number of people email me who own Mac computers, and who own Microsoft Word 2011 for the Mac. They would like to use the formatting information in Book Formatting for Self-Publishers, but have found that the instructions for finding commands and dialogue boxes in Microsoft Word 2010 for the PC are different on the Mac. Unfortunately, I do not have a Mac, however, I did research the internet, trying to find the corresponding Word 2011 commands for the Mac. I hope the following information will be of help to Mac users as they follow the instructions in Book Formatting for Self-Publishers to format their books.
Print Preview Go to Print tab, as in Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows Display Print or Normal View: Go to View tab, select “Print Layout” or “Draft” Display Formatting Marks: To Display Special Characters: Go to Word tab, and then Preferences; select “View”.
