SFJackBauer Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) The manual is wonderful! But I would like to put up a suggestion that will make our lives so much easier when navigating it. Right now the manual have a table of contents, but normally when exporting it to PDF (I am assuming the source content is in MS Word) it does not generate bookmarks by default for the ToC. This can easily be enabled by doing this flow on MS Word: NOTE - this will work only if the headings of the sections were created by applying the heading structure in the MS Word instead of being just plain text (which I assume it is the case, given there is already a table of contents in place). Make sure the Table of Contents is updated before exporting it. File -> Save As (PDF) or File -> Export -> Create PDF/XPS Document On the Save As dialog, click Options On the Options dialog, mark the "Create bookmarks using" checkbox And thats it. While we're at it, maybe play with the compression / image quality options as well since the cockpit screenshots look a little blurry, although that may increase the size of the file too much and not be desirable. Thanks! Edited June 23, 2023 by SFJackBauer
Sile Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure i'm missing something, but my version (from 14.06.2023) already has bookmarks in ToC?! And not only there. Isn't this the case in the release version? (not at home atm) Edited June 23, 2023 by Sile

(not at home atm) I'm going by the file on the /Mods/aircraft/F-15E/Doc folder in DCS (from yesterday's release 22.06.2023) It doesn't have.

Same empty list of bookmarks as in my previous reply. In any case, seems that other people already brought it to Baltic's attention. Edited June 23, 2023 by SFJackBauer
