Invisible numbers are appearing on the PDF file

[Fei Min Lorente]

Thanks, Fred. That's why I've got invisible numbers. The rationale was
lost in the mists of time.

Richard's approach works perfectly for the TOC in the document. 
Where it doesn't work (unless something has changed since the last time
I tested it several years ago for a different employer) is in the PDF
bookmarks. The "Acrobat data" that is exported from FrameMaker to
support bookmark generation only includes what is in the heading
paragraphs themselves. No number in the chapter title paragraph means no
number in the PDF bookmark for the chapter title.

have its chapter number appear in the TOC. My setup is quite similar to
yours (minus the pretty graphic). Here's the TitleChapterTOC pgf from my
ref page TOC spec (with \t in place of tabs):

they have a <$chapnum> value associated with them (via the document
numbering properties) by virtue of which file they're in.
