Add the Table of Contents

Go back to the menu

The Chapter and Pages section allows you to see the table of contents. Most fields are filled out automatically after uploading a PDF file.

The Chapitres and pages / Table of contents section

The table of contents is automatically extracted from the PDF file if you have created bookmarks in it. Refer to the guide about creating PDF files.

Good to know

The table of contents can be seen in the flipbook. Each PDF file uploaded creates a new extraction of the table of contents and deletes the items in the previous table of contents. Therefore, it is preferable to keep the table of contents updated through bookmarks in the PDF file. This way, if the PDF file needs to be replaced, the version extracted will be the correct one. The table of contents can also be used to divide chapters in a book (for instance, to make a chapter browsable or unbrowsable in a single click).

The Chapitres and pages / Pages section

If you wish page numbers in the flipbook table of contents to be the same as those printed in the file (the pages in the paper book), you can indicate how many non-paginated pages and pages in roman numerals are found at the beginning of the publication. The number of pages in the publication is automatically obtained from the PDF file.
