Re: Correct paging on PDFs with chapter* SOLVED
Hi all, The documented, correct, and functional fix for this is to use the \phantomsection command before every \addcontentsline command. The reason is the hyperref package has a hard time with \addcontentsline and so the hyperref package offers the \phantomsection command as an official workaround. So when you guys come up with situations where \addcontentsline produces the numerically right page numbers in print but goes to the wrong page when clicked, suspect this hyperref anomole and try the \phantomsection official workaround.

The book's table of contents gets the page numbers right, but the PDF's clickable links in the Table of Contents and its sidebar clickable Table of Contents both bring you to wrong places when you click them. Specifically, they bring you to points in the book earlier than the desired place. I've already tried including package tcloft and using \cleardoublepage at the end of preceding chapters, and nothing worked. I need to find a way around this, either by fixing the clickability of Chapter* within PDFs, or using Chapter and somehow suppressing chapter numbering and the use of the word Chapter. Any ideas?
