Dear Anaconoda,

For table of content at first page: ods pdf/rtf file = '<filepath
\test.pdf/rtf>' contents;
Just to remember that for *.RTF files you have to right click at first
page and then click "update field" (Windows OS) for table of content
to appear. In *.PDF files TOC will automatically be appearing at first
page.

Write two ods statements one for rtf file and another for Pdf.

ods rtf file = '<filepath\test.rtf> ';
ods pdf file = '<filepath\test.pdf> ';

statements;

ods rtf close;
ods pdf close;
