Bookmarks for a PDF output

Hi all,
I have a BI Publisher Layout Template composed by one data table inside two nested Repeating Section: one for month and one for year.
I want to define a bookmark for each month and each year for PDF output. Is it possible?
Thanks!

I tried and i dont think for xpt we can keep bookmarks
because online report bulider is not that mcuh developed we can use them for charts and graphical reports and simple reports and if we want to handle the page and custom functions. as far as i know only alternative is rtf template.

How to set the margins for the pdf output in BI Publisher

Hi There,
When we view a report in PDF format in BI Publisher, we get pdf output in an iframe.
There are two scroll bars on the right side. When we scroll down the outer scrollbar to the bottom, there is a white space between the bottom border of the pdf report and bottom portion of the window.
We are calling BI report from apex by passing the url of the report. In this case the white space at the bottom is quite evident and seems that lot of space is being wasted.
Can somebody help me, how to remove or minimize this white space.
Thanks
Krishna

Hello,
open your report for editing, so you see the page with your layouts. Then click on the Link "Show as List" on the upper right. In the List of the output formats select "FO Formatted XML". This enables FO Export.
Then execute your report, click on the small menu item at the upper right. The Menu opens, select Export -> FO.
Hope that helps.

TOC links fail when using book function for interactive pdf output

I have a large print publication consisting of multiple files using the Indesign book function. I have created a Table of Contents in the first document (there are multiple files in this book), but when I save to interactive pdf to create a digital version the TOC links are lost. They only work within the first document.
I have read numerous forums but cannot resolve this issue with the combination of:
1. TOC creation
2. Using Indesign Book Function
3. Multiple documents in the one book
4. Interactive Pdf output required
I look forward to answers???

Nybor123 wrote:
I am on CC version 9.0 but am updating CC as I type this in the hope this may have some answers?
If you are on CC, you should update your InDesign version to 9.2.1 as it is the latest version. Then you should open the TOC definitions, check it, activate the new add anchor on destiny function and save. Now you should actualize all TOCs.
The TOC functionality has been improved and changed between 9.0 and 9.2. If you update your files accordingly you will suffer less pain.

Embedding video in InDesign for a PDF output

I've been trying to embed videos in InDesign to output them as a PDF with video.
I've followed the tutorials but the final PDF has only the poster frames — they won't play.
One thing I have noticed is that the tutorials say to choose "Object>Interactive>Movie Options.
When I open the Interactive menu, no such options appear; only references to buttons. I have tried it in different workspaces: Interactive, Advanced, and Interactive For PDF. Same result in all of them.
I have the latest Indesign and Quicktime. I have tried embedding both H.264 and flash videos. Same result for all. I also tried exporting as "Interactive PDF" which is worse — even the poster frames don't appear.
What am I missing?

You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

How to set bookmarks for interactive Pdf forms?

CAn

I cannot believe the quality of the Acrobat X tutorials. Why can’t they be like the ones for CS. Some balloon text boxes flash by so fast they cannot be read, timing is also an issue for other balloons.
Disappointed, If you like I can make better ones for you

IBooks to sync Bookmarks even on PDF

I just want to know that it's anyway to sycn bookmarks for every PDF in iBooks app.
Because I have to deal with a hundred page in a PDF file and it will be more easiler if i can deal it from iBooks on Mac.

I appreciated for your help. but I didn't mean about syncing the book. I want to "sync bookmarks" over the PDF file that i put and read it on iPad. I found that PDF file is something that is not complete about syncing file as it should be.
I bookmarked pages that I have to read it again or do some printed about it. But when i back to my Mac -> iBooks. the bookmarks's not there.

Creating Bookmarks in PDF Output

I am going to be exporting my final InDesign document to PDF. I need to create bookmarks for the document because they are used to access topics in online help. I've attempted to do this by selecting Bookmarks in the export settings, with no results. I am not sure how to get headings in my InDesign document to appear in PDF output as bookmarks. Is there such a thing as a heading style in InDesign, as in FrameMaker and Word? Does anyone have experience doing this? I really need to know how to do it. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Tony

The TOC uses only the headers that appear at the top of each page. How doI get the headings and subheadings throughout the document to appear as bookmarks in PDF?
A TOC will include whatever you tell it to include.
Right. Any paragraph-styled text can be extracted to TOC/bookmarks.
The functionality you want is there, but your statements demonstrate that you've assumed limitations that aren't. They also demonstrate that you're not clueless. Look just a bit deeper.

C-Plus set bookmark for PDF to FO_PgfFmt when FO_PgfFmt is defined in master page

Using the following across all documents in a book
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "100_TOC_Header01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 1);
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "010_01_00_Heading01");
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 2);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_DocAcrobatElements, False);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmark, True);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmarksOpenLevel, FV_PDFBookmarksOpenAllLevels);
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone);
F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Name), False);
to set bookmarks for PDF when doing a save as PDF on the book.
This works for all FO_PgfFmt's defined in the document except when the FO_PgfFmt is defined in a master page.
Is there some setting that is needed to get bookmarks from master page FO_PgfFmt's?
Or is there some setting that needs to be done on the master page to get the bookmark set?
Any advice or directions would be helpful.
Using FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows 7.

Whoever created the Master Page didn't know what they were doing from a workflow perspective. There should never be live content on a Master page.
The title is placed in a background frame on what is probably defined as the "First" master page and is only used once in your document. It would have been better if this was a variable (it might be, have you checked?) and then you could get at the content easily.
Option 1: In order to use FM's internal bookmark generation tools, you will need to get that content onto the Body page and into the same flow (and at the correct location) in order to have it appear at the correct location in the Bookmarks panel of the PDF.
From a programming point of view you will probably need to do the following.
1. Get the text string from the background frame on the specific Maser Page in the document
2. Create a custom colour that will be applied to the Text in order to render it "invisible" on the Body page using FM's Color Views option (set the colour to the Invisible column in the View number for the document). (FM will still know that it is there but will not display nor output that string). You could also have this pre-defined in a template and import the template into all files in the book (including the desired paratag for that paragraph on the Master page).
3. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
4. Insert a text frame into that anchored frame
5. Insert the text string from the background text frame
6. Apply the appropriate paratag that uses the Invisible colour for the text
7. You can now add the paratag to the bookmark list and generate the PDF.
Option 2: Create the bookmark code directly using pdfmark commands in a postscript text frame on the Body page. Postscript text frame contents are interpreted by Distiller from the output and do not display.
1. Get the text string from the background frame in the document
2. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
3. Insert a postscript text frame into that anchored frame
4. Insert the bookmark pdfmark code including the text from step 1.
Sample pdfmark code:
[/Title (the string from the background text frame here) [options for font, colour and hierarchy] /OUT pdfmark
The minimum info required is in bold.

Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

beatngu13
I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Ditafm-output.ini and PDF output for different situations

I'm using a DITA 1.2 structured app and templates that I've set up. I'm generally happy with the output that I'm getting now, but I've also come to realize that I have two different situations for PDF output--in situation one, I need to set up for printed books, i.e., facing pages, keeping chapters starting on right-hand pages and so on. Situation two is for electronically-distributed PDFs that are NOT books--files that customers might print themselves, probably not double-sided, so I don't need facing pages with the associated blank pages in the file, and so on.
I'm using flags in the ditafm-output.ini file to control the pagination for the printed book in my output. Both situations currently use the same output templates, though I may create a single-sided template for situation two. That's easy enough.
My question, then, is this: It seems to me that I'll need two different ditafm-output.ini files for the two situations. Is there an easy way to switch between them? Output seems separate from the structured application, and I don't need or want two separate apps.
The best I can think of at the moment is to create a second ditafm-output.ini file with the settings I want for situation two, name it ditafm-output_foo.ini and change it to the "real" name when I need it. This, of course, introduces a potential overwrite disaster. Naturally, I'll keep backups.
Unless there's a better way??

That's the only way I can think of using "default" Frame to support multiple output types. To make it less error-prone you might set up batch files that do the copying .. just run the right batch file before you build each type of book.
OR .. you could use DITA-FMx which lets you define an INI file for each book-build (and provides many more features).

Data missing in PDF output generated by RDF locally only for one time.

Hi All,
Could any one please help me in finding the reason of the below mentioned issue.
I have downloaded an RDF onto local machine and changed only sorting of few columns required.
After that I had generated PDf output on local machine for first few times PDF is generated with correct output.
Unfortunately when I again generated PDF output as final version, a few columns are missed in displaying in the PDF output. again I ran the RDF for next time and the PDF is generated correctly.
Now I want to know what may be the reason that for that time only PDF generated with missing data.
FYI, Problem occured in Report Builder *9.0.4.0.33*
This reason is really urgent and needfull for me.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Many Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
What is the report orientation PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE? What happens if you set the SYSTEM PARAMETER ORIENTATION to PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE upon your report output and then generate again. While saving as PDF also see the page orientation.

How can I generate PDF bookmarks for change bars?

I want to generate PDF bookmarks for text that is marked by change bars when I save as PDF from structured Framemaker 7.1. That way the proofreader can go directly to the pages that contain change bars and proof only that text.

Adding to Arnis' reply:
It is also possible to generate PDF bookmarks for change bars through FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Presentation Assistant, as follows:
Change bar has to use a unique color, with a known RGB value
A PDF layer is created automatically based on the specified RGB value, containing all change bars (layer can be set as initially hidden and/or as a non-printing one)
A generic bookmark can be created automatically for each change bar. Since this is not related to the specific text being indicated, the bookmark text has a user-controlled label, optionally autonumbered (eg "Change Bar #1", "Change Bar #2", etc).
After setting the different parameters above, the process is entirely automatic (results are present as soon as the file is Save as PDF or distilled into a PDF).
If this approach is of interest, I can set up sample FM + PDF files.
A different approach -- based on custom markers inserted, with unique text and note attributes -- resulting in Quick-Access Bookmarks, is discussed/demonstrated at http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF06.html .

PDF Bookmarks for Data driven subscription

Hi
I have a data driven subscription for a report which is in PDF format.
The report has bookmarks and the users would like the PDF to show the bookmarks when the PDF document has been opened.
Is there a setting in SSRS which will force the PDF document to open with the bookmarks open?
I have searched and am unable to find anything, please help!
Thanks

Hi Nasa1999,
According to your description, you create a document map in a report. Then you want to render the report as PDF file in the data driven subscription. When you open the PDF file, you want to see the bookmarks open automatically.
In Reporting Services, if document map labels present in the report, a document outline is added to the PDF file when we render the report as a pdf file. When we open the PDF file, the bookmark is hidden and it only display when we click Bookmarks in Adobe
Reader. This behavior is by design. So in your scenario, your requirement can’t be achieved currently.

Document Map
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
