I will try and be clear as I can be.




I have a pdf tender document. The pdf includes things like Note to Respondent and Identity of Respondent which are fields or tables required to be completed. This is simple enough, I the print the completed pdf, convert to Jpg and insert into word all good.


However sometimes these pdf files are pages long and have within them (pdf) headings.



As I have the time on this tender, I thought it would be nice to be able to include the 'now' imaged headings in the word table of contents. One way i can think of doing this is to place the heading on the page and then paste the image in front of the text. Bit messy but should work I guess. I just thought there may be a better way?


Thanks

You cannot turn part of an image into a Table of Contents entry. I suggest you convert the image to a Word document, employing heading Styles for the headings, and replacing the PDF fields with content controls.

I agree with Paul. What you are trying to do is asking for frustration and not going to be pretty. Here are some resources:

• How to create a table of contents in Microsoft Word by Shauna Kelly
• Generating a Table of Contents - Complex Documents

Long term, you are going to have the most easily-edited Word document if you copy text from the converted PDF file into a new document as plain text and then do your formatting in that document using styles, including the Heading styles.
