I have set fop1.extensions to 1. I believe this just generates the TOC information and doesn't set the initial view to present the TOC in a left-hand pane... However, I am aware there are a bunch of setting local to my pdf render that may be fiddling with the initial presentation.

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.

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, ________________________________ From:Bob Stayton <[email protected]> To: Richard Henwood <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 18 September 2013, 15:00 Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] initial pdf view with index side pane Hi Richard, Do you mean you want to replace the PDF bookmarks with a back-of-the-book index in the left pane? Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] From:Richard Henwood Sent:Wednesday, September 18, 2013 12:16 PM To:[email protected] Subject:[docbook-apps] initial pdf view with index side 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
