Distill7 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Is there a way or a plan to implement a clickable table of contents in the exported PDFs? Quote
Old Bruce Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I do believe it is done in the More section of the Export PDF part of the Export... tick the box at the bottom called Allow advanced features Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Old Bruce Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Works here, although I should point out that only the page numbers are clickable. Not the entire line or entry.

RM f/g Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Only the page numbers in a table of contents are clickable. That is not what I would expect. And I think in general one would expect the whole line to be clickable. Still some work to be done here.

Photo and Designer have both had several releases already so there has been time to enhance and refine them. Publisher will be released for the first time next week - it hasn't been around as long and is just getting started. Quote

It's just that photo and designer can be a solid replacement to photoshop and illustrator in the majority of time. So people had same expectations for publisher to replace InDesign, but after testing it, a lot of people found it lacking essential features and they can't use it for a lot of publishing work. Quote

There are also many people who find it more than adequate for their work already. It will obviously depend on the specific nature of what each person is doing and their tolerance for needing to work around some of the current limitations. In any case, I would certainly expect many of those features to start making their appearance over the course of the next few releases. Quote
Tegwyn Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I would also like to know if this will be done in the next month or so. It's a consideration for whether I buy Affinity Publisher (I'm trying out the trial), as LibreOffice does this already (but is worse for positioning frames and images). Is there a workaround for mass-modifying the table of contents to make the text linkable as well as the page numbers? Edited August 20, 2019 by Tegwyn Quote
timvandevelde Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Any update on this? Feels like low hanging fruit since the numbers are already clickable. Unusable in the current state, users won't find the links on the numbers. Tegwyn 1 Quote
anybodesign Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Hi ! I tried the table of content feature for the first time, and I'm quite disappointed that only page numbes are clickable… why not the whole line ? And in the generated PDF there are no table of contents links as well, whereas there are in indesign generated pdf. (see attachments) Am I missing some settings? Can we hope to have theses features?

Tegwyn Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 PDF bookmarks are not supported either (unless they just added them). You have to insert them with another program afterward, such as pdftk. Quote
anybodesign Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 ok I see too bad then, hope they will add this feature Quote
Tegwyn Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I just re-exported my project using Publisher 1.8.2 to make a few minor fixes and improvements, and I noticed that all my table of contents bookmarks exported with the whole line clickable, not just the numbers! I don't remember noticing that in the release notes. I hope it's intentional and staying around. Is anyone else getting this? Quote
Tegwyn Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Let us know how it goes, or if it's just my computer doing dark magic! If your TOC is crossing more than one column, be sure to check all the links when you export. I found a bug, which I'll try reporting once I get together a clean example file that has the problem, where two entries that link to the same page apparently get combined even if they are split across columns, which seems to cause the link hitbox to become huge and clobber all the previous links in the first column. I'm speculating as to the cause, but the workaround is to split a multicolumn frame into multiple frames. Quote
anybodesign Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I confirm it works I have only a single column TOC, but the wholes liens are now active! Very cool ^^ Tegwyn 1 Quote
Tegwyn Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 @Pavol, see the last few comments. It seems like they quietly added this in March last year. Give it a try and see if it works for you. Quote

You need to click the 'Include bookmarks' and 'Include hyperlinks' options behind the 'More' button. I do wish this sort of thing was NOT hidden behind More buttons. The Hyperlinks in the Publisher-generated TOC (and elsewhere) are clickable automatically if you use one of the digital PDF Export Presets. They're only non-clickable (by default) in the Presets for printable PDF files.

TheDoc Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 When exporting to PDF there are multiple presets present. These include for print, press ready, digital -small size, digital-high quality, for export, flattern, X-1a2003, 3:2003, x-4, include bookmarks. Is there something in the Affinity publisher manual or book that describes each and when to use them.? I created a 400 page cookbook in Word and imported it into affinity Publisher. I then made a lot of changes to the document in Affinity Publisher, but found that Kindle KDP takes the PDf for publishing the Paperback version but NOT the ebook version. It would rather take epub, or mobi, or even DOCX. It is too late for me to revert to the word document as I made the mistake of making a lot of the changes in affinity publisher and can no longer use the original word doc to send to Kindle to publish the eBook. The pocketbook has been published and looks great. Any hints on which Preset I could use to make the PDF so that I can convert it to ePUB or back to Docx in Word without getting a terrible cpnversion. I have tried converting from the PDF using multiple programs including Calibre which are so bad that it would take days to fix all the changes that the conversions made. Anyway please tell me what all those presets are good for. Thank you Quote

bici Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 ...3 yrs later. So I don't use the auto TOC feature when we design our Table of Contents with page numbers in our 36 page newsletter. I craft it manually. We "publish" our publication on our website. I have now been asked if it is possible to have the PDF pointing to a specific article so that a unique URL can be shared via e-mail so that the receiving person is shown the article page rather than the title page which happens now. So a url of the form mynews.ca/MyfamArtilce/ instead of a link to mynews.ca I want the page number and article title to be clickable and to take one to the specific article. So how can I accomplish this manually. I am happy to do it for each article. And secondly can this be automated? If so how can I do that. NOTE: using latest version of Affinity suite Quote iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020/ Sonoma OS 14.7/ Affinity newbie /
