General ⇒ hyperref: PDF index levels

[paul]

I have a document structured as

Code: Select all

\frontmatter
\chapter{C0}
\mainmatter
\part{P1}
\chapter{C1}
\chapter{C2}
\part{P2}
\chapter{C3}
\backmatter
\chapter{C4}

The PDF index created by hyperref is laid out as

Code: Select all

C0
P1
...C1
...C2
P2
...C3
...C4

What I want is for C4 to be back at the same level as C0:

Code: Select all

C0
P1
...C1
...C2
P2
...C3
C4

What do I have to do to make hyperref "forget" about P2?

If you're just talking about the “PDF bookmarks” which shows on the side panel of many PDF viewers, you can load the bookmark package, and then use this command:

Code: Select all

\bookmarksetup{startatroot}

To make the next division not treated as a child of the previous one. (In this case, you can add that command right after \backmatter.)

But I think this hierarchy tends to follow the main Table of Contents which is actually put in the document, and you may have it off there too. How you’d fix that would depend on what documentclass you’re using, and what, if any TOC-related packages you’re using, which you didn’t tell us.

Yes, thanks, that solves my problem. The toc wasn't affected.

Marking a topic as solved means to edit the initial post, not the last one (see Board Rules).
