Okay, the directions I found and followed said to go to the binder, outline mode. Select all, edit > copy to TOC, create a new page, and paste.
When I generate the pdf, it all looks good(ish) but the links try to link to a webpage that of course says “not found” rather than to pages within the document.
What am i doing wrong?
Linked TOC only work for certain formats and certain converters. For working links in PDF, DOC* and DOCX you’ll need to use the Microsoft Office converters, which require MS Office 2007-2013 (not 365). If Office is installed, you can switch to that converter via the Import/Export tab of Tools > Options. Click “Export Converters…” and then choose the PDF format from the drop-down on the left and the “Microsoft Office” option from the drop-down on the right. The OK out of that and Options and compile again with the new converters.
OK. I do have Office 2007 installed
When I click on the Export I see
Files…
OMPL or Mindmap File…
Outliner Contents as CVS… (which is grayed out)
Comments and Annotations…
but no Export Converters…
You need to open Tools > Options, then select Import/Export from the list on the left. There you’ll see the “Export Converters…” button.
Oh, oops. I totally missed the word Tools. 
Thanks.
As someone who has office 2003 and cordially loathes office 2007, is there any workaround to get a generated PDF TOC? I find that my pdf’s the TOC keeps trying to open external files.
Compile to RTF and then open that in Microsoft Word and create a PDF from there. If 2003 doesn’t have a Save as PDF option built-in, I think there’s an Adobe plug-in that can generate a PDF from there, or there are tools like CutePDF that allow you to print to PDF from anywhere.
