Create A TOC

Hi
I am a total BIRT newbie.
I want to create a TOC for my Report. The report is a summary of other reports in Pdf format.
The complexity of the report belongs to the selection form the user.
So the pagination have to be dynamic.
And i want to have a maintopic with subtopoic like this

1. maintopic
1.2 subtopic

The main and subtopic should displayed on each report. My idea is to make a dynamic dependency between two labels and that is my Problem.

With the Report Design GUI i coudn?t do it. Than a took a look at the API which is a little bit confusing in my opinion. There are a lot of Objects to create a TOC but i coudn?t do it either.

So I want to know if somebody got any idea on this
Thanks for your help

PS: Sorry for my very simple and bad english

The TOC is automatically created as PDF bookmarks. You can open the PDF and view a linked breakdown of the report.

If you want a printable TOC, that is much harder. I think an example exists but I did not find it right away.
Hopefully someone will stop by and post a link.

I want a printable TOC at the begining of my report.
I allready know the option with bookmarks. Correct me if I am wrong but as far as i know you can only create "simple" Bookmakrs which make the thing with the subtopic impossible.
With iText you can add Children to each Bookmark. This children parent combination can be proecesed in an algorithm.
But i don?t know how to do this in BIRT sombody know that ?
And does somebody work with the API to create a Report and can tell me how the TOC Objects are working together

Thanks
