PDF table of contents

[nkrusch]

In a PDF TOC, in place of *, I wanted hyperlinks for "Table of contents", Tables, Figures, etc.

HAVE

WANT

This part on the "printable page" as in template of course

A starting point:

\AddToHookNext{shipout/foreground}{\put (0, 0){\pdfbookmark[0]{Cover}{sec:cover}}}
\label{sec:cover}\maketitle\clearpage

\AddToHookNext{shipout/foreground}{\put (0, 0){\pdfbookmark[0]{Acknowledgements}{sec:acks}}}
\input{acknowledgements}\clearpage

\AddToHookNext{shipout/foreground}{\put (0, 0){\pdfbookmark[0]{Abstract}{sec:abstract}}}
\input{abstract}\clearpage

\pdfbookmark[0]{\contentsname}{toc}\tableofcontents\clearpage
\pdfbookmark[0]{\listtablename}{lot}\listoftables\clearpage
\pdfbookmark[0]{\listfigurename}{lof}\listoffigures\clearpage

• The \AddToHookNext{shipout/foreground}{\put (0, 0) bit is to achor to top of page
• The \pdfbookmark[0]{display text}{ref} adds it to the PDF table of contents (only)

I had some ok result with the - listof = totoc, toc option in info.md, but this resulted in some entries being in the actual table of contents:

then I played with \pdfbookmark[0]{\contentsname}{toc} for a long time, but never quite got it right.

in the end I use a convoluted \hypertarget{listoftables}{}\bookmark[level=chapter,dest=listoftables]{\listtablename} set up.

It has two drawbacks:

1. It uses the same page numbering, resulting in multiple pages being numbered "1, 2, …" in the pdf bookmarks:
   

2. For some reason, all the links except the one on table of content point slightly after the part of the document referenced.

I've played with this issue for a while, but that's the best I could get.

With template v0.2.1, I get the right headings in a PDF, and no extras in paper TOC.

However the page anchoring/alignment is off.

• ACK + Abstract: "too low" alignment below the title, title cropped off.
• TOC: good
• LOT/LOF: "too high" 0.5-page into previous page, before the heading.

Thanks for getting back to me on that. I see the same issue with where the links point on my end -- I'll try to fix it when I get some inspiration (I feel that I've tried everything now).
