Page Layout ⇒ Table of Contents for set of PDF files

[deathmagneticx]

Hi all! I have a set of pdf files which I have merge into a single pdf file.

What I need is a table of contents page which shows the title of each pdf file and have a description below in italic and also dots.

this is my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[pdfauthor={<somename>},pdftitle={<sometitle>},pdftex]{hyperref}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in,bottom=0.75in,top=0.75in]{geometry}


\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyhead[L]{X Y Z}
\fancyhead[R]{}
\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\newpage

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\includepdfset{pages=-,pagecommand=\thispagestyle{fancy}}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{SAMPLE PDF 1\\ \textit{description}}
\includepdf[pages=-]{template1.pdf}

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{SAMPLE PDF 2\\ \textit{description}}
\includepdf[pages=-]{template2.pdf}

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{SAMPLE PDF 3\\ \textit{description}}
\includepdf[pages=-]{template3.pdf}

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{SAMPLE PDF 4\\ \textit{description}}
\includepdf[pages=-]{template4.pdf}

\clearpage
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{SAMPLE PDF 5\\ \textit{description}}
\includepdf[pages=-]{template5.pdf}

\end{document}

I need help on how to properly align the page number with its title and put dots

thank you!

Put the entire section entry into a parbox https://latexref.xyz/_005cparbox.html to settle the alignment of the description and use the position argument to locate the page number.

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}%
{\parbox[t]{\textwidth}{My section\\\textit{Description of section}\dotfill}}

It will look like this

To adjust the thickness of the dots or the spacing between them, check 19.10 https://latexref.xyz/_005chrulefill-_00 ... tfill.html.
