This would be a feature of your XSL-FO processor that generates the PDF. If you are using FOP, you need to look at FOP's PDF output configuration, and see if FOP has such a setting. There is no way to do it in DocBook XSL.

This gives the user an overview of the document; without this appearing on initial view, a user may not know it exists.

The best I could find from my searching was: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ExtensionsForPdf but I am unsure how to interpret this page. Any help would be gratefully appreciated! cheers, Richard
