Table of Contents

Table of Contents automatically generates a linked table of contents page from the bookmark structure of your PDF. The generated TOC includes page numbers and clickable links, making it easy for readers to navigate the document without manually creating the contents page. Table of Contents sits in FilePilot's pdf tools collection, so it is easy to move between this task and nearby tools such as Free Online PDF Tools, Free Online Image Tools, Merge PDFs. It is useful when you need to add a professional toc to a report or proposal; generate navigation pages for long technical manuals; create a contents page for a compiled anthology or collection; improve accessibility of documents by adding structured navigation. The workflow is straightforward: upload a pdf that has bookmarks defined; the tool reads the bookmark hierarchy and generates a formatted toc; download the pdf with the table of contents inserted at the front. The work happens locally in your browser using client-side processing, which keeps your files on your device and gives crawlers a clear plain-text description of what this page does before the interactive app loads.

How it works

  1. Upload a PDF that has bookmarks defined.
  2. The tool reads the bookmark hierarchy and generates a formatted TOC.
  3. Download the PDF with the table of contents inserted at the front.
