Hyperref doesn't produce bookmarks for title page nor the TOC

Question

As stated, hyperref doesn't produce in the bookmarks titlepage nor table of contents. To be more specific, I have a 8 chapters, with over 50 sections, and lots of cross-references. ALL of that is produced perfectly and flawlessly. But when the final PDF is compiled the bookmarks start at PREFACE and not at TABLE OF CONTENTS or TITLE PAGE as I wish they did.

\documentclass[leqno, letterpaper, 10 pt]{book}

\usepackage{hyperref}
    \hypersetup{
        pdftitle={Fundamentos de C\'alculo},
        pdfsubject={C\'alculo diferencial},
        bookmarksnumbered=true,
        bookmarksopen=true,
        bookmarksopenlevel=1,
        colorlinks=true,
        citecolor=black,
        filecolor=black,
        linkcolor=black,
        urlcolor=black,
        pdfstartview=Fit,
        pdfpagemode=UseOutlines,
        pdfpagelayout=TwoPageRight
    }

\begin{document}

    \frontmatter

\begin{titlepage}
    \centering
    {\scshape \huge Fundamentos de c\'{a}lculo. \par}
    \vspace{1cm}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte I. Preliminares del c\'{a}lculo.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 1 al 4. \par}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte II. Desarrollo del c\'{a}lculo diferencial.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 5 al 8. \par}
    \vspace{2cm}
    \vfill
    {\large Mayo de 2018. \par}
    \rule{4cm}{0.4pt}
\end{titlepage}

\tableofcontents

\end{document}

I would suggest you use the bookmarkpackage, as it does add a lot of functionalities.

My answer was based on this and this.

\documentclass[leqno, letterpaper, 10 pt]{book}
\usepackage[numbered]{bookmark}
\usepackage{hyperref}
    \hypersetup{
        pdftitle={Fundamentos de C\'alculo},
        pdfsubject={C\'alculo diferencial},
        bookmarksnumbered=true,
        bookmarksopen=true,
        bookmarksopenlevel=1,
        colorlinks=true,
        citecolor=black,
        filecolor=black,
        linkcolor=black,
        urlcolor=black,
        pdfstartview=Fit,
        pdfpagemode=UseOutlines,
        pdfpagelayout=TwoPageRight
    }

\begin{document}

    \frontmatter

\begin{titlepage}
    \centering
    {\scshape \huge Fundamentos de c\'{a}lculo. \par}
    \vspace{1cm}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte I. Preliminares del c\'{a}lculo.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 1 al 4. \par}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte II. Desarrollo del c\'{a}lculo diferencial.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 5 al 8. \par}
    \vspace{2cm}
    \vfill
    {\large Mayo de 2018. \par}
    \rule{4cm}{0.4pt}
\bookmark[dest=TitlePage]{Title Page}  
\end{titlepage}

\tableofcontents
\bookmark[dest=tocpage,level=-1]{Contents}

\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{Bibliographic review}
\end{document}

Thanks, your answer works well though the other answer is slightly better. — William M., May 30 '18 at 03:25

I would also suggest to use package bookmarks. But you have to set hypertargets as targets of the bookmark links. For the TOC you have to ensure that the target is on its first page.

\documentclass[leqno, letterpaper, 10pt]{book}
\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text
\usepackage{bookmark}% loads hyperref too
    \hypersetup{
        pdftitle={Fundamentos de C\'alculo},
        pdfsubject={C\'alculo diferencial},
        bookmarksnumbered=true,
        bookmarksopen=true,
        bookmarksopenlevel=1,
        hidelinks,% remove border and color
        pdfstartview=Fit,
        pdfpagemode=UseOutlines,
        pdfpagelayout=TwoPageRight
    }

\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\begin{titlepage}
    \centering
    \hypertarget{titlepage}{}% set the hypertarget
    \bookmark[dest=titlepage,level=chapter]{Title Page}% add the bookmark
    {\scshape \huge Fundamentos de c\'{a}lculo. \par}
    \vspace{1cm}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte I. Preliminares del c\'{a}lculo.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 1 al 4. \par}
    {\scshape \large \textsc{Parte II. Desarrollo del c\'{a}lculo diferencial.} \par}
    {\scshape Capítulos del 5 al 8. \par}
    \vspace{2cm}
    \vfill
    {\large Mayo de 2018. \par}
    \rule{4cm}{0.4pt}
\end{titlepage}

\cleardoublepage% ensure that the hypertarget is on the same page as the TOC heading
\hypertarget{toc}{}% set the hypertarget
\bookmark[dest=toc,level=chapter]{\contentsname}% add the bookmark
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{Bibliographic review}

\mainmatter
\Blinddocument\Blinddocument\Blinddocument
\Blinddocument\Blinddocument\Blinddocument
