TOC depth for stitched PDFs

Post by MeganTR »

Is there a way to change the TOC depth of stitched PDFs?

I've added some PDFs to my TOC, and they are showing up as a first level heading in my TOC. I want them to be a second level heading, or even mc-heading-level: 0. Just definitely not first level. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

I wanted to do just that, and when I contacted Tech Support they said that there is no way round it. I added a feature request but it would help if you did too.

I have a way round it, but it does mean providing the other PDFs separately and including a link in my main project to the PDFs. Not what I wanted but no other option at the moment.

Thanks for the response. I actually spent some time last night digging through the TOC and Target editor options and found something that works.

I was able to make them appear as second-level headings by going into my Target -> Advanced tab, and checking the "Use TOC depth for heading levels" option (under Generated TOC). I then placed all my PDFs in a book and linked an opening topic that holds my miniTOC to the book. Now they're appearing as second-level in my main TOC!
