Index heading not appearing in PDF bookmarks

[AndrewDugas]

I've seen posts on how to exclude index terms from the PDF Bookmarks, but not how to include the Index heading.

Please advise!

oXygen 14.1
DITA-OT 1.5.3

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

What do you mean by Index heading? Do you want the Index page to be generated in the PDF when publishing?
If so, the default FO processor bundled with Oxygen (Apache FOP) cannot build the index page from the XSL-FO output generated by the DITA Open Toolkit.
You should try to install in Oxygen and use the commercial RenderX XEP for this:

RESOLVED!

I had neglected to include to include the <backmatter> element in my bookmap.

This took care of it:

<backmatter>
<booklists><indexlist/></booklists>
</backmatter>

I have added the <indexlist/> as mentioned in the above post; however, Index is appearing in Bookmap, but the index page is not appearing.

Just to update this thread:

Using Oxygen 15.2 or newer you can generate an index page using the default PDF transformation.
