This sample demonstrates how to generate PDF files with primary and secondary bookmarks using Accelio Present Central and Output Designer tools.
The sample consists of a data file with four distinct fields and eight records, which is used to create a PDF with bookmarks.
Bookmarks in the PDF allow for navigation by different criteria: by date, by item type, and by transaction amount.
The sample bookmark file is divided into three sections: invoices sorted by date, invoices sorted by item type, and invoices sorted by transaction amount.
Sample files provided include: a template design file (ap_bookmark.IFD), a template for PDF output (ap_bookmark.mdf), a sample data file (ap_bookmark.dat), a sample bookmark file (ap_bookmark.bmk), and a sample PDF output (ap_bookmark.pdf).
Deployment steps involve compiling the template, modifying the job command to specify the bookmark file and sorting criteria, and placing files in the correct directories for Output Designer and Central.
To run the sample, the data file must be placed in the collector directory scanned by Central.
Sorting and bookmark generation can be customized using command line parameters, such as -abmk:invoices, -abmk:type, or -abmk:amount to sort by invoices, type, or amount, respectively.
