Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You may have solved this already? I've not used dompdf, but i did a similar thing in Zend_Pdf: I made a blank page for the table of contents and then went on creating all the other later pages, keeping an array of page_number => title. At the end I went back and updated the contents page using the reference saved earlier...

Answer 2

Generating a Table of Contents from HTML (with h1,h2,h3), I did the following:

• First give every header an unique ID (because we are using PrinceXML) and is a good pratice.
• Then create an OL/LI structure of it, although that piece of code can contain bugs.
