First, when in the book to generate the TOC, Index, and whatever other
files you have...
Each one's setup dialog box has a "Create Hyperlinks" checkbox. Make
sure that's activated. Save and update the book file.
Confirm that the links were generated -- in the TOC or list, you
should be able to Ctrl+Alt click (and see a hand icon as you mouse
over) on an entry and it should jump to the location.

When you Print to PDF the file, make sure the Generate Acrobat Data
checkbox is activated.

If the links are in place, they are automatically generated in the PDF.
