Disable page references in TOC

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

Hello to everyone.

I have a case where I need to add table of contents to an exising document.I am using the following link to achieve this goal: https://docs.aspose.com/display/pdfnet/Manipulate+PDF+Document#ManipulatePDFDocument-WorkingwithTOC
(in part Add TOC to Existing PDF).

The version of used Apose.Pdf dll is 11.3

I wonder if you could help me to understand if I am able to hide page numbers in table of contents tree.

For instance, I have the following structure:

  1. My superHeading…1
    1.1. Subheading_1…2
    1.2. Subheading_2…3

Can I somehow hide these tabs and page numbers to get the following:

  1. My superHeading
    1.1. Subheading_1
    1.2. Subheading_2

I would be grateful if you could help me with this case.

Thanks in advance.
