DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert headings that can serve as TOC entries of levels 1, 2, and then 3.
builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;

Assert.True(builder.ParagraphFormat.IsHeading);

builder.Writeln("Heading 1");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading2;

builder.Writeln("Heading 1.2");

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading3;

builder.Writeln("Heading 1.2.1");

// Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Pdf;

// The output PDF document will contain an outline, which is a table of contents that lists headings in the document body.
// Clicking on an entry in this outline will take us to the location of its respective heading.
// Set the "HeadingsOutlineLevels" property to "2" to exclude all headings whose levels are above 2 from the outline.
// The last two headings we have inserted above will not appear.
saveOptions.OutlineOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels = 2;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "PdfSaveOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels.pdf", saveOptions);
