  • 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.
