Table of Contents Images of the pages are captured and saved as files. Bookmarks are created to navigate to each page and to return to the TOC. The page images are inserted onto the TOC page with their action set to the appropriate bookmark. Buttons are placed on each page with their action set to the TOC bookmark.
