Table of Contents

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi,

while I’m trying to create a table of contents (toc) page I get a strange behaviour with the numbering.
The headings numbering is reverse. First page gets number from last page and so on and therefore the toc list is created from end to the beginning.
Am I doing something wrong with the toc creation?
Attached some screenshots and Code.

Thank you


public static void ToC_Create ( )
{
Document doc = new Document( );
Page toc = doc.Pages.Add( );
toc.PageInfo = new PageInfo
{
Width = PageSize.A4.Width,
Height = PageSize.A4.Height,
IsLandscape = false,
Margin = new MarginInfo( 64, 28, 42, 85 )

TocInfo tocInfo = new TocInfo( );
TextFragment title = new TextFragment( “Table of Contents” );
title.TextState.FontSize = 20;
title.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
title.TextState.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

tocInfo.Title = title;
toc.TocInfo = tocInfo;

Page page1 = doc.Pages.Add( );
toc.PageInfo = new PageInfo
{
Width = PageSize.A4.Width,
Height = PageSize.A4.Height,
IsLandscape = false,
Margin = new MarginInfo( 64, 28, 42, 85 )
};

Page page2 = doc.Pages.Add( );
toc.PageInfo = new PageInfo
{
Width = PageSize.A4.Width,
Height = PageSize.A4.Height,
IsLandscape = false,
Margin = new MarginInfo( 64, 28, 42, 85 )
};

var heading1 = new Heading( 1 );
heading1.Text = “Heading 1”;
heading1.IsAutoSequence = true;
heading1.IsInList = true;
heading1.Level = 1;
heading1.TocPage = toc;
page1.Paragraphs.Add( heading1 );
string text1 = “Text1 Text1 Text1 …”;
page1.Paragraphs.Add( Tools.AddTextBlock( text1, Tools.DefaultFontSize, HorizontalAlignment.Left, Tools.TextBlockMargin ) );

var heading2 = new Heading( 2 );
heading2.Text = “Heading 1.1”;
heading2.IsAutoSequence = true;
heading2.IsInList = true;
heading2.Level = 2;
heading2.TocPage = toc;
page1.Paragraphs.Add( heading2 );
string text2 = “Text11 Text11 Text11 …”;
page1.Paragraphs.Add( Tools.AddTextBlock( text2, Tools.DefaultFontSize, HorizontalAlignment.Left, Tools.TextBlockMargin ) );

var heading3 = new Heading( 1 );
heading3.Text = “Heading 2”;
heading3.IsAutoSequence = true;
heading3.IsInList = true;
heading3.Level = 1;
heading3.TocPage = toc;
page2.Paragraphs.Add( heading3 );
string text3 = “Text2 Text2 Text2 …”;
page2.Paragraphs.Add( Tools.AddTextBlock( text3, Tools.DefaultFontSize, HorizontalAlignment.Left, Tools.TextBlockMargin ) );

using ( var fileStream = new FileStream( ResultFile, FileMode.Create ) )
{
doc.Save( fileStream );
}
}

Hi,

Has this issue been resolved ?

I can still see this behaviour in Aspose.Pdf 17.11.0

Is there any kind of work around for this issue ?

I’m a little surprised this is still an issue, it seems like a fairly major bug to me… the table of contents in pdf’s being broken.
