We are printing a catalog to PDF, with a sub-report that prints an

If properly designed and implemented correctly, you may use the swift
technique to implement "Table of Contents" using the "GENERATE_TOC"
option when creating R:BASE report as PDF. A catalog with TOC.
When print R:BASE report as PDF, GENERATE_TOC ON specifies whether to
generate a "Table of Contents" based on all report Break Headers, if
defined.
For complete details and clearly outlined options with examples:

Here's a very simple example to print a report with Table of Contents:
-- Start Here ...
-- Based on sample RRBYW18 database included with R:BASE eXtreme 9.5
IF (CVAL('DATABASE')) <> 'RRBYW18' OR (CVAL('DATABASE')) IS NULL THEN
CONNECT RRBYW18 IDENTIFIED BY NONE
ENDIF

OPTION PDF +
|FILENAME SalesSumAndSubTotals.PDF +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG ON +
|INCLUDE_HYPERLINKS ON +
|GENERATE_TOC ON +
|TITLE Customer Sales Sub-Totals and Totals +
|SUBJECT Sales Summary Report +
|AUTHOR R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 for Windows +
|KEYWORDS Sub-Totals Totals Sales Summary +
|OPEN ON
RETURN
-- End Here ...
Notice the Hyperlinks for each customer within the Table of Contents.
In addition to this powerful feature of generating Table of Contents,
in R:BASE reports, you may also customize any DB Label or Variable
Label object by defining "Hot Spot" feature of PROPERTY command as
follows:
-- Before Generate Custom EEP for [Detail] Band in Report
PROPERTY CustURL URL .vCustURL
RETURN
Where vCustURL is a variable defined for each customer's website.
A cool and more elaborated application to illustrate the use of
such feature is also included with the 2014 Advanced R:BASE SAT
sample applications.
