Thanks Razzak, The hot spot feature looks like it is almost what I need. If there were a way that the hot spot could contain a page number URL i.e. 'Page 1' or 'me:Page 1' to point to a page in the document I would have exactly what I need.

If properly designed and implemented correctly, you may use the swift technique to implement "Table of Contents" using the "GENERATE_TOC" option when creating R:BASE report as PDF. A catalog with TOC. When print R:BASE report as PDF, GENERATE_TOC ON specifies whether to generate a "Table of Contents" based on all report Break Headers, if defined. For complete details and clearly outlined options with examples: HELP PRINT | PDF ... Here's a very simple example to print a report with Table of Contents: -- Start Here ... -- Based on sample RRBYW18 database included with R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 IF (CVAL('DATABASE')) <> 'RRBYW18' OR (CVAL('DATABASE')) IS NULL THEN CONNECT RRBYW18 IDENTIFIED BY NONE ENDIF CLS PRINT SalesSumAndSubTot + OPTION PDF + |FILENAME SalesSumAndSubTotals.PDF + |SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG ON + |INCLUDE_HYPERLINKS ON + |GENERATE_TOC ON + |TITLE Customer Sales Sub-Totals and Totals + |SUBJECT Sales Summary Report + |AUTHOR R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 for Windows + |KEYWORDS Sub-Totals Totals Sales Summary + |OPEN ON RETURN -- End Here ... Notice the Hyperlinks for each customer within the Table of Contents. In addition to this powerful feature of generating Table of Contents, in R:BASE reports, you may also customize any DB Label or Variable Label object by defining "Hot Spot" feature of PROPERTY command as follows: -- Before Generate Custom EEP for [Detail] Band in Report PROPERTY CustURL URL .vCustURL RETURN Where vCustURL is a variable defined for each customer's website. A cool and more elaborated application to illustrate the use of such feature is also included with the 2014 Advanced R:BASE SAT sample applications. Database: RBU_SAT Forms...: .
