Index headings in document structure of PDF

If an odt. document contains 

- a Table of Contents

- a Table of Figures and 

- a Bibliography, 

and you export this file as a PDF, with the options "Tagged PDF (add document structure)" and "Export bookmarks", the navigation area / document structure in the generated PDF file does not contain the elements with the names 

- "Table of Contents"

- "Table of Figures" and 

- "Bibliography". 

My PDF viewer is Okular. The same behaviour occurs if the PDF file is viewed in Firefox.

This behaviour probably affects all other indexes.

For a demonstration refer to the three attached files.

Jens, you can change outline level as follows:
1. Open paragraph styles in sidebar
2. Choos Modify in context menu
3. Change outline level in outline and numbering style

So for me it's a lack of information in documentation [1].

Jens, if you agree, please change satus to NEW

Hi Dieter, thanks for your information to resolve this issue. I am not using the LO Writer Sidebar due to the limited size of my screen (laptop screen), it is permanently closed on my computer. One alternatively can access that option to change the outline to level 1 by right-clicking a heading, then "Paragraph", then "Edit style".

The user behind the mail adress sdc.blanco@youmail.dk already informed me about how to solve this issue by email to my mail adress yesterday because he or she thought that I reported this issue to receive help here. Many thanks to sdc.blanco@youmail.dk.
 
> So for me it's a lack of information in documentation [1].

Yes, I agree with you.

How about additionally creating a How-To with a title like "How to manually create an element ("bookmark") of an index heading in the document structure of PDF files"?

> Jens, if you agree, please change satus to NEW

Yes, I will do that, thanks.

Only "Export bookmarks" ("Export outlines" in 7.1) is needed for what you want.

Tagged PDF provides meta-data about the layout of the file. Often used for accessibility. Nothing to do with PDF bookmarks. I will try to adjust the explanation in the help page. 

Try making a PDF with bookmarks, without using "Tagged PDF", but with "Export bookmarks".  You may notice a difference in the size of the PDF file with and without Tagged PDF.

Have changed bug summary to better reflect the request, and changed to enhancement.
