This would be a feature of your XSL-FO processor that generates the PDF.   If 
you are using FOP, you need to look at FOP's PDF output configuration, and see  
if FOP has such a setting.  There is no way to do it in DocBook XSL.

Hi Bob,

What I want is when my viewer opens the PDF (I generated from Docbook) for the 
first time, it presents the user with the table of contents (the 'index' 
according to evince) in a panel on the left hand side.

This gives the user an overview of the document; without this appearing on 
initial view, a user may not know it exists.

Something like this: http://blog.rockymountaintraining.com/?p=383

r,

Hi Richard,
Do you mean you want to replace the PDF bookmarks with a back-of-the-book index 
in the left pane?

Hi All,

Is there a switch I can throw to force the PDF that is generated to default to 
displaying the index as a (left-hand) side bar?

The best I could find from my searching was: 
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ExtensionsForPdf but I am unsure how to 
interpret this page. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

cheers,
Richard
