Problem with Calibre PDF TOC

mkumbale · 08-26-2009, 07:54 PM

I just registered and this is my first post. I use Calibre version 0.6.8. I have a large number of HTML documents that I want to collect in an eBook in a particular order. I followed the instructions given in FAQ about collecting the HTML documents in order by producing a file containing information in the following format:

<html>
<body>
<h1>Table of Contents</h1>
<p style="text-indent:0pt">
<a href="file1.html">First File</a><br/>
<a href="file2.html">Second File</a><br/>
.
.
.
</p>
</body>
</html>

When I convert to PDF the TOC hyperlinks do not work. Also in EPUB format the TOC hyperlinks work but after every <h2 section it introduces a page break. So why don't the hyperlinks in PDF work? Also is there a way to introduce page numbers in both the eBook and the TOC?

Thank you.

If I remember right, the PDF Output plugin doesn't support creation of a TOC.
