invisible subsection

Question

I've tried adapting the answer here, to make invisible subsections by changing 'section' to 'subsection' everywhere. It didn't seem to work. Basically, what I want is to have subsections that appear in the bookmarks menu of adobe (or other pdf readers) so that I can't jump to their location, but they shouldn't appear in the text itself. Ideally I would prefer these subsections (or sections for that matter) didn't interfere with the numbering of regular subsections, but that's the less important part.

Answer 1

You want to use the command \addcontentsline to add something to the table of contents.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{You can see this section}
\blindtext

\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{You can't see this one}

\blindtext
\subsection{You can see this one!}

\blindtext
\end{document}

This will put an unnumbered entry at the level of subsection into the \tableofcontents and and entry in the index! More information can be found here.
