Hi,

I have some pdf docs that need a "clickable" table of contents.

I have Adobe Acrobat and the pdfs are not protected. Is it
possible to create a table of contents so I can click on an
entry and be transported to the appropriate location in the
document?

dont wanna hijack, but similar questions...

on the iLiad can you bookmark a page within a PDF? or annotate and then jump to that annotation later?

Not on the regular iPDF, but there's a patch by Mike K. that does this by storing information in a separate XML file (rather than by trying to modify the PDF file, which would be computation-intensive). Hopefully that patch will be included in the community iPDF which is supposed to come out soon.

I believe the full acrobat can add clickable TOC. So if the iLiad supports this in any PDF you should be able to make it.

You can do the clickable TOC - all you have to do is look at the iLiad manuals - they have clickable TOCs and are PDFs.

So for you cannot bookmark PDF's, and I don't think you can jump to annotations either.
