Page Layout ⇒ Chapter number issue

[bond]

Hi!

I am facing a weird issue with chapter marking in the final generated PDF. My requirement is to have preface, acknowledgements, etc. before the ToC and then a 'List of Abbreviations' chapter before the main matter starts. The matter before the main chapters should be numbered in roman numerals. The configuration that I use to achieve this is attached, along with the class file that I am using. I use pdflatex to process my document (original has figures, pictures etc.). When you do that, notice the chapter structure shown in the PDF reader: everything is fine till 'contents' however, after that, the main matter is somehow seen as a sub-section of the 'list of abbreviations' chapter. Any tips?

Thanks a ton!

Hi Bond,

welcome to the board!

Try \phantomsection directly before the first \chapter call to fix the pdf bookmark problem.

Thanks Stefan. I had to insert \phantomsection before each subsequent chapter call otherwise the problem was just passed from one section to another. Anyway, thank you very much for the helpful tip - it worked
