I'm still trying to understand what you want this to look like.
Do you want the table of contents to be clickable? Because THEN I think you'd be entering the Adobe universe if you're wanting to make a pdf that has clickable links in it.
Why not make the table of contents in HTML and each line is a link to a PDF chapter of your manual?
You could also add a little jQuery to use tooltips that will pop up when people scroll over your links. jQuery is a good skill to have, and not too tough to learn, although it's better to learn some Javascript first.
Hi OP,
I have taken online courses in intro coding as well. Its frustrating if there are no course moderators. Coursera has online classes with moderators. Some are so helpful that they can discern your questions perhaps better than you/me.
That said, you might even have some luck googling html navigation and see if anything pops up that looks promising.
Best of luck.
There are plugins that help you create pdf files. Depends on what language you are using. Also check out JQuery website. They keep releasing new stuff very often.
This is the method that Microsoft uses to create help files. The help file will be in CHM format which is compiled HTML (including images, etc.). The search results include various instructions, tutorials, videos, and methods of creating such files.

Okay, thanks. That might be what I'm looking for.

I might check out Coursera then. I've been using Udemy, and the instructors respond when I email them, but the courses are "completely self-paced" and the student has "life-time access." That gives me the idea there are no grades, because there are no deadlines.
The best and most challenging programming class I've taken anywhere by a long shot (including "real" classes at community college) was the MIT Introduction to Python class on edx.org
You can't talk to the professors, but there are very active message boards and plenty of staff and other mentors available to answer questions on the Slack boards.
You can't speak to professors at Coursera either. But some moderators are great and in one intro to web design from U of Michigan class the other students were so helpful. One student from Mexico (I enjoy "meeting" people from other countries) could tell how frustrated I was, not knowing if I had a logical, syntax error etc. He ran my code snippet in Sublime and told me not to worry, look for a missing parentheses. You can drive yourself nuts trying to do this all alone!!!!
Good Luck.
People on the Coursera site for U of Michigan, computer programming, rave about "Beginners Guide to Python" taught by Chuck Severence. I haven't taken it yet but plan to next year. You can withdraw from class if you can't finish it in time and sign up for the next session, all your work will be saved.
