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.

pane
Hi
Bob,
What I want is when my viewer opens the PDF (I generated from
Docbook) for the first time, it presents the user with the table of contents
(the 'index' according to evince) in a panel on the left hand side.
This
gives the user an overview of the document; without this appearing on initial
view, a user may not know it exists.
Something like this: http://blog.rockymountaintraining.com/?p=383

Hi Richard,
Do you mean you want to replace the PDF bookmarks with a
back-of-the-book index in the left pane?

Hi
All,
Is there a switch I can throw to force the PDF that is generated to
default to displaying the index as a (left-hand) side bar?
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
