I have a project that has several topic files, each containing a number of sub-headings. My aim is to generate this into a PDF output. Everything comes out right except that the PDF bookmark pane that is generated only lists the main heading of each topic file. I want the output to have a bookmark list that appears something like this:
Main Topic Heading 1
Sub Heading 1
Sub Heading 2
Main Topic Heading 2
Sub Heading 1
and so on.
Some information on my files:
1) The style sheet was imported from a framemaker file (as the original files are .fm). I was told by the localization team to preserve the fm styles as much as possible so as to not incur additional localization costs due to formatting changes (which is a major nightmare since there's almost no structure to the styles in those files). What this means is that I'm not using the inbuilt h1, h2, h3 styles to define each heading and sub heading (even though I would love to start with a new set of styles, localization can be costly and I'm rather new to the team).
2) Because each topic file corresponds to 1 chapter (I'm not using a topic-based structure but rather a chapter-based structure again to keep in line with the original fm files), when I edit the Master TOC, I tried 2 methods:
A) adding only the topic files into the TOC. This generates, as expected, the PDF with only the main heading of each topic file in the bookmark pane
B) manually adding "items" into the TOC, arranging and linking them properly using madcap bookmarks. This still generates the same as (A).
Any suggestions aside from just restart the whole project and do it topic based? (would love to but my localization team may tear me apart)
