Overview
Remove TOC deletes the table of contents pages that TOC Builder inserted into the active document. TOC Builder marks every contents page it creates, and Remove TOC deletes the pages that carry that mark. If the document holds several tables of contents made by TOC Builder (a merged document, for example), all of them are removed in one run.
A bookmark that TOC Builder added for the table of contents (its Also add as bookmark option) is removed as well. The command has no dialog and no options.
How to use
- Open the PDF that contains the table of contents.
- Go to Plug-Ins > TOC > Remove TOC, or press Ctrl+Shift+0.
- Read the confirmation. It states how many pages will be deleted and which page numbers they are; with more than one table of contents it lists each run of pages.
- Confirm to delete the pages, or cancel to leave the document as it is.
- Save the document to keep the change.
Note
Only a table of contents made by TOC Builder is recognised. Contents pages that were typed by hand, made in the authoring application or added by other software do not carry the mark and are left alone. If the document has none that TOC Builder made, the command says so and changes nothing, without asking for confirmation.
Warning
The pages are deleted from the open document. If you confirm by mistake, close the document without saving. A document whose security settings do not allow changes is refused.
Tip
You do not need this command before rebuilding a table of contents: TOC Builder replaces the one it made earlier when you build a new one. Use Remove TOC when you want the document without a table of contents. It does not remove the thumbnail index made by Visual Page Index; for that, use Plug-Ins > TOC > Remove Visual Page Index.
