There's more than one way to do this. Either you keep track of the titles and page numbers you want to display in the TOC. You can do this in a special object or even better: by creating an outline tree. Then add all this when you've finished adding all the other content (if the TOC needs to be in front, you might want to reorder the pages). Or you create the TOC on the fly in a second PDF (maybe in memory) and afterwards you concatenate this second PDF with the PDF that has the actual content. The first approach is nice because you can preserve internal links, but typically you'll use numbers i, ii, iii, iv,... for the TOC and 1, 2, 3, 4,... for the actual content. The second approach works best if you want the TOC to be in front starting with page 1, 2, 3,... and keep on using the same numbering for the actual content (you'll add the page numbers in the second go). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
