General ⇒ making table of contents an index in pdf viewers

[reakin]

Hi,

I have seen in various documents (such as the latex manual) an index in the panel of my pdf viewer (I use Evince or Okular) that is quite convenient. How do I add this to my document? I am using Emacs with Auctex to make pdf's via pdftex.

regards,
Rich

The hyperref package will do this automatically with pdflatex. There are some additional commands for fine tuning it.

Check out its documentation here:

Ah, I see after reading the manual that all I had to do was put the \usepackage{hyperref} command last in the loaded packages.. very nice.

cheers,
