I've been working on a iBook for a while for work and it functions great on an iPad. However, when I publish it as a PDF there is no table of contents. Is there a way to have the table of contents displayed automatically for the book? I dont mind if it's just a table of contents list like in a Word document, but the PDF file is very difficult if it's over 800 pages with no table of contents.
Use something else, such as Pages or WORD, instead.
Using something else isn't at all practical. I want to have one body of work that should be available consistently among many platforms. Using iBooks author, I create a really good interactive text book. If i'm just exporting it out to PDF for other users, they miss out on the widgets and related other features but they still get the same layout and content. I dont want to continue using both Word and iBooks Author to produce my documentation.
Update on what I did:
So instead of having an automatically generated template, I created a table of contents for each section on the chapter title slide. This table has 3 columns, Section, Topic and Page and then I use that as a reference guide for users who only use the PDF version of the document. There is no way to have interactive reference links in table elements in iBook but it suits the purpose well.
Interesting tactic, thanks for the update.
How do I add a table of contents to a PDF document created through iBooks?
