I have a PDF file that contains thousands of page. How do I collapse the index from the file so I could only see the main topic all at once. For example, from the image below I only want to see Preface without the subtopic.

  • I am not 100% sure what you are asking but why don't you try clicking on the down arrow next to "Preface"? – edwinksl Sep 10 '16 at 20:57
  • I have updated the question. This PDF have 3000+ pages. Doing it manually will take time. I want to do this autamatically all at once. In Foxit Reader for Windwos there's an option for collapse all. I'm looking for this kind of feature. – Bagus Aji Santoso Sep 11 '16 at 05:12
  • I googled a bit and I think there is no such feature for Evince unfortunately. – edwinksl Sep 11 '16 at 05:41

I had the same problem as you, and it appears that evince doesn't have a collapse all option. So i found an alternative how to achieve this result. Just open the pdf file in Google Chrome (maybe it works in Chromium too, or Firefox, I didn't checked). When Chrome will open your file in top right corner will be a Bookmarks button (an icon of a flag) and the menu will be entirely collapsed. Hope it'll help you or other folks that have this problem.
